Slashdot has a story on "The Ugly State of ARM Linux"
http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/175829/arm-and-linux-major-construction-ahead

They do say it is being fixed, but it seems worth asking here how that affects
the Box since most plug computers are ARM-based.

Also, Debian currently includes a Havege daemon for strong randomness.
That uses internal processor state as an entropy source, and is therefore
highly CPU-dependent. Checking the web page, it appears that is
available for some ARM CPUs:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/misc/haveged

Does it work on the ones we need it for?
