i dont know the exact algorithms, sorry, i never bothered to look into the
sources. but AFAIK any interaction with your computer does the job: surf a
lot without a plan, write useless mails, play around like crazy with your
mouse and so on. with ongoing time /dev/random gets filled (a little) more
and more. maybe i'm wrong but can anyone else tell about the exact methods?
