[Cialug] Get Random in VMware

[Todd Walton]

Anybody know of a better way of getting randomness in a VMware virtualized
Red Hat / CentOS guest than /dev/random? /dev/random and /dev/urandom take
*forever* to churn out random numbers. On the order of approximately a byte
every 3 seconds.

haveged maybe?
