You'll want to start with a Debian stable image or similar; this is production we're talking about. At that point: sudo apt-get install ntp or sudo apt-get install openntpd and dropping a new config into place is all that you absolutely need. After that you will want local management changes -- chef or puppet or ansible or what have you, a user and so forth. How stable is Raspberry Pi hardware compared to a cheap Atom server? -dsr- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
