> The distinction between /dev/random and /dev/urandom makes it appear that /dev/urandom is inferior and /dev/random is the "true" random number generator but that isn't the case. They are equally good since they both wait for an initial amount of entropy and receive additional entropy from the OS even after boot.
I was under the impression that urandom does not wait for initial entropy on Linux. Am I mistaken/has this changed?
