Hi,
I think you've misunderstood the Bernoulli distribution. It just says 
that there is a probability p for an event to happen an the probability 
1 - p for its complementary. In Boost.Random you can give the generator 
a probability and it generates these events. Internally I think it just 
uses another random number generator.
So if you want number in the interval [0,1] you have to use the 
appropriate generator for your use case.
