If you install the ntpd daemon and set it to a good source, it should automatically set your computer clock to atomic clock time so that it is always right. Then you can set your watch by your computer clock instead of the other way around. Just pull up the package manager and search for ntp. Once you get it installed, you need to find a public time server to bounce the connection off of to get the right time. Try to get one in the same timezone as you, it just works better. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
