[time-nuts] OT: NTP server questions

[Chris Albertson]

What do you need to do?  What precision is required and how many clients will
you be serving.   For most "normal" uses you don't need a special purpose
server system.  A $600 notebook PC and any GPS unit with a serial
connection and a copy of Linux or BSD.
