ntpdate's output is easier to read if its connecting and working or not
	- it tells you it connected and how much of an time offset

and if ntpdate works, xntpd should also work 

if your xntpd doesnt work, its probabably because its the "clone" ??
	xntp is the script that calls xntpd ( or vice versa )

	- try getting the real xntpd package ( *.deb or *.tgz )

if xnptd doesn't work, just use ntpdate in rc.local ... whenever it boots
up and/or in cron once an hour, with xntpd turned off

for your laptop, it should connect to your ntp server ( whiskas )

and yes, in general zero offset and zero fields are bad in ntp's output
