:) I have one machine that uses ntpd, if your curious that is what
Freebsd ships with except it's not turned on by default. Regardless
the hardest part was doing the .conf file, it was easy if you use
the pool at ntp.org.
If you really want to read up on the virtures of Chrony and why some
suggest it for Debian you might want to search Debian user list, as
it comes up once in a while. Let's just say that each has it ardent
fans.
