I'm new, so there's some early step that I've overlooked, but I can't set 
the time, and I don't know why.  I'm running the Ver C BBB with Debian 
pre-installed.  I have flashed the newest OS version, and have found PuTTY 
to get me access to the SSH shell.  I've even got a single LED to light up 
with some sample code that I've found.  I now want to apt-get update and 
install, but I've been told to get my date set up first so that the 
update/install goes smoothly, but ...

Both of:
root@beaglebone:~# ntpdate pool.ntp.org 
root@beaglebone:~# sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org

get me a response of:
Error resolving pool.ntp.org: Name or service not known (-2)
15 May 07:34:42 ntpdate[5292]: Can't find host pool.ntp.org: Name or 
service not known (-2)
15 May 07:34:42 ntpdate[5292]: no servers can be used, exiting

While we're at it, when should sudo be used or avoided ... I'm really not 
clear on this.

Thanks
rjc
