Oh.. and if you want to go the linux way and use a Raspberry Pi.. just dont!
Use a Beaglebone black instead. It uses less power and is easier to deal 
with.
Not to mention that you dont have all those USB related problems.

===========================================

I've built three Raspberry Pi stratum-1 NTP servers:

one of which has both a Wi-Fi dongle and a DVB TV receiver stick attached, 
and on none of these have I seen any USB problems.  I'm using a 5.25 V 2A 
power supply from ModMyPi.com.  You can view the timekeeping accuracy here:
