Drop ntpdate, pick-up chrony
Registered by

The current Network Time Protocol daemon is old and has been abandoned upstream. Fedora recently switched to chrony and we should follow. Should be as easy as apt-get purge ntpdate && apt-get install chrony.

Whiteboard
Chrony is known to support less hardware clocks than ntpd: chrony.
I'm not sure if this move is worth the effort on the level of elementary OS; I'd prefer to get this integrated upstream. ~shnatsel
Convincing research; agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if Ubuntu makes the change in Precise+1. Thanks Shnatsel. ~codygarver
