+-   NTP Pool: 1000 Servers serving time-> on Saturday September 08 2007, @12:39PM hgerstung

hgerstung writes "This weekend the NTP Pool Project reached the 1000-servers-in-the-pool mark. That means that in less than two years the number of servers has doubled. This is happy news, but the "time backbone" of the Internet, provided for free by volunteers operating a NTP server, requires more people to contribute their NTP server to the pool in order to cope with the demand. Millions of users are using the pool for synchronizing their PCs system clock and a number of popular Linux distributions are using the NTP pool servers as a time source in their default ntp configuration.

If you have a static IP address and your PC is always connected to the Internet, please consider joining the pool. Bandwith is not an issue and you will barely notice the extra load on your machine."
