title: set the random seed in julia generator of random numbers
body: <p>I would like to do a couple of checkings using the random generator for normal distributed numbers in julia. So what I would like is to obtain the same sequence of pseudo-random numbers.</p>
  
  <p>Actually, I do random matrices, so I would like that both of my programs generate:</p>
  
  <pre><code>A = randn(dim,dim)                                                                                                                                                                           
  H = (A + A')/sqrt(2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the same H-matrix</p>
