This problem has been solved: use EntropyBroker: a physical machine gathers entropy data and distributes this to the virtual machines.
If I remember correctly KVM has a special driver for feeding the VM with entropdata from the host system.
Try telnetting to the ssh-port. It tells you the ssh version as well as the system it is running on. In the example below you can for example see that my system at home runs Debian.
folkert@debianfvhbps:~$ telnet keetweej.vanheusden.com 22 Trying 80.126.110.251... Connected to keetweej.vanheusden.com. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-3 ^]quit
I also perform these analysis (well, a little less elaborate) on the outcomings of the Dutch "Staatsloterij". One can find these here (updated every month).
If that is worry to you, use my program cryptosync. It compresses and encrypts each file and also encrypts the file- and pathname. All files stay individual files so that you don't need to transfer a tar file of gigabytes.
Maybe just maybe there are (too many) others using the same channel as you.
Consider buying a Wi-Spy and check out which channels have the least transmissions.
Please note that each channel is not just one channel in width but has the width of a couple of channels.
What distributions should do is add a "software of the day" screen which automatically when you login show you, well, what this webpage does. But then served from local disk or so.
If you find building something yourself to much of a hassle and you have either a webcam or a soundcard lying around, you could give audio-entropyd or video-entropyd a try.
Well I guess I have to revoke my signatures on PGP keys from the UK then, don't I? I mean: if someone else, even if it is a government organisation ALSO has access to a certain private key, how can one be sure who's using that private key?
Sorry for plugging my own project but I think MultiTail can be very usefull for a lot of admin tasks.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.
For a complete list of features, look here.

Maybe this dark matter only exists in some of those other 13 (were there 13? - stringtheory) dimensions and that we only see their gravitational effect.
I bought a couple of temperature-sensors at cleware. They connect through USB and work really well. Wrote a tool for it for easy controlling their devices: clewarecontrol.
They also have humidity sensors.
For the situations where/dev/random can't feed enough random-data there are 2 tools for seeding the kernel PRNG: audio-entropyd (which I'm maintaining) and video-entropyd (which I developed myself).
Audio-entropyd takes a stereo audio-device and calculates random bitstreams of what it 'hears' and feeds that to the kernel. video-entropyd is the same altough it retrieves images from a video4linux-device and feeds that (after processing) to the kernel.

I would say an observation is when a particle interacts with anything else.

audio-entropyd: get random data from an audio source
videwo-entropyd: get random data from a video source (webcam, tv-card, etc.)

v for vendetta anyone?
If you find building something yourself to much of a hassle and you have either a webcam or a soundcard lying around, you could give audio-entropyd or video-entropyd a try.
This site also has quiet a few hilarious stories about clients who simply don't get it.
This/these guy(s) has/have some hilarious stories collected.
"v for vendetta" anyone?

Well, in fact it IS funny.
Just a couple of days too soon...
For those who miss kerneltraffic, there is an alternative: LWN. It also has a summary of what happended on LKML.
RIM versus NTP? What has memory to do with the network time protocol?
If the badsectors on medium a are not on the same place as on medium b, you can use recoverdm to merge those into one correct image.

it would be nice if it contained a fresh set of condoms

I've heard some people treat the waste pipe as recreation area as well.
