oh, and if there were any doubts about what it means for the system to be ready... https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity12/mining-your-ps-and-qs-detection-widespread-weak-keys-embedded-devices key quote: "Although Ubuntu tries to restore entropy saved during the last shutdown, this happens slightly after the point when sshd first reads from urandom.
