NTP setup is easy. Most Linux OS have NTP in the Network Services Control Area.
Mine is set to a time server located in our country, clocks get updated from the country code set in the date time panels. When we advance the clock 1 hour I had a well overscheduled hour in the system. When we drop an hour I make sure there is nothing critical in that hour. If you have broadband using an on line server is more reliable than RF.
