That's a server that doesn't get any hand's on use. When I wiggled the
mouse and typed something, the entropy went up to 2 (wow!). I found an
old sound card and threw that in and suddenly I have randomness to spare
(entropy == 3000)!

Is this a significant enough limitation that I should write up a FAQ entry?
