First priority you should try is your ISP (this info is not available/not easy to find on their web pages - but seems you have already found the big ones. Contacting support might also work). Second is the default pool for your distro (nowadays, installations typically default to their "vendor zone" http://www.pool.ntp.org/vendors.html ). If you want to use the global pool - try europe.pool.ntp.org, which as far as I recall usually gives you servers with much lower "delay" value than if you use the global pool. I also seem to recall that the debian pool (default setting on a fresh install) gives a similiar result (delay comparable to european servers - much better than US servers, but not as good as my own ISP's). note that timings above might not be up to date (I did not check other options for some time...) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
