Ran the following

*for i in `seq 1 1600`;do cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid |md5sum
;done|gawk '{count[**substr($1,1,1)]**++}END{for (i in count) {print
i,"=>",count[i]}}'|sort*

to give me a distribution of the first character in md5

i got the following samples

for 160,
*0 => 11
1 => 14
2 => 9
3 => 5
4 => 6
5 => 6
6 => 15
7 => 10
8 => 10
9 => 9
a => 13
b => 13
c => 11
d => 9
e => 11
f => 8*

*for 1600
0 => 97
1 => 97
2 => 96
3 => 100
4 => 93
5 => 112
6 => 105
7 => 107
8 => 91
9 => 105
a => 112
b => 91
c => 96
d => 101
e => 109
f => 88


and for 16000,

0 => 959
1 => 1039
2 => 1062
3 => 969
4 => 1019
5 => 1044
6 => 1042
7 => 972
8 => 960
9 => 985
a => 978
b => 1006
c => 1026
d => 975
e => 984
f => 980

*
etc

You may try it, and see if they are mixed enough. I guess not bad at all!
The effectiveness grows with the size.



*For ppl other than prasad, i know that the context is missing. please look
out for a mail from me soon regarding ASDFS*
