NTP

Check /etc for ntp.config.  this is the configuration file for this and it is 
simple to setup.  I use the following times severs;

# --- OUR TIMESERVERS -----
server 0.pool.ntp.org
server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pool.ntp.org

If anyone would like I will send them a copy of my ntp.conf file.  NTP have 
been functioning for me without a problem for about 5 years now.

As Stefan has already stated using the GUI is a nice thing but after you gt it 
up and running check out the configs to get a better understanding how things 
work.
