Linux Time Server Drafts

A Linux Time Server for a Small Network

Installing a Linux Time Server on a small Home, Home Office, or Business LAN which contains a mixture of operating systems. 

The "Problem"

For reasons I will not (boringly?) elaborate on here, it is considered a "Good Thing™" to have all the computers on a network on the same time. 

[fixme: insert links here]

It is also desirable (another "Good Thing™") to have no more than 2 of them getting their time from the 'net. 

  1. Because more than 2 is a waste of other peoples' resources, and therefore impolite. 
  2. Because more than 2 may be a waste of your own resources, and therefore stupid.
