yeah, I lose time on this laptop when I travel it seems to take einstein 
litterally and has it's own space/time continum where every mile 
traveled = about 30 seconds one way or the other.  Or it could just be 
acpi messing with my mind.  Currently about 2 or 3 mins slow, Mark Cook 
was two or three fast so I replied to him before he replied to my post 
that I hadn't written yet this morning.  See how confusing these things 
get ;-)

I also remember Aq has a problem when video encoding.

You could search the archives of this list for NTP and ntpdate to see 
the combined wisdom of Peter, James and Jon setting everyones clock for 
them ;-)  Or you could check out the distilled version from Aq

You should be able to use yast to get ntp iand then set it up with the 
servers as explained by Aq.  If you *really* want to understand it all.  
I am sure Peter, James and Jon (and now Aq and Dan) will explain it all 
for you.

I have set up a ntp server on my network but currently this machine 
isn't set up to use it.  I lost my config when I upgraded to 2.6 and 
forgot to get it fixed.
