Package: task-laptop
Version: 3.31+deb8u1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
When I didn't have 'ntp' installed on my laptop, I found that the clock
drifted significantly from the true time. (It was almost four minutes
fast when I noticed it last fall!)
To help other Debian users avoid this, I think adding ntp to the list of
recommended packages would be helpful. I've attached a patch that I
think does that.
Thanks,
Nathaniel Beaver
