Die linux kernel, die is behoorlijk random! :o)

bash# ent /vmlinuz-2.2.12
Entropy = 7.981985 bits per byte.

Optimum compression would reduce the size
of this 525224 byte file by 0 percent.

Chi square distribution for 525224 samples is 21864.30, and randomly
would exceed this value 0.01 percent of the times.

Arithmetic mean value of data bytes is 127.7378 (127.5 = random).
Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.112832288 (error 0.92 percent).
Serial correlation coefficient is 0.021550 (totally uncorrelated = 0.0).
