All workstations I've ever used back when I was a student had an ntpd
running, as a matter of course.
Nowadays, I have it running on my cell-phone, my home routers, ...
Why someone wouldn't want to run it on a machine that runs several VMs
is beyond me.

This said, 20 minutes over the weekend is *a lot*, so it may be due to
a real problem, and ntpd may not be able to adjust for it (it's not
designed for such big discrepancies).
