[CS-FSLUG] timestamp, was Re: Fw: GM vs Microsoft

[Ritchie, Josiah S.]

Ubuntu does that, without freezing and changes time according to
daylight savings time also. Gentoo didn't have any trouble with that
when I was using it regularly either. :-)

You're looking for NTP stuff. I don't know how SUSE handles it. I think
ntpdate is the name of one of those programs that I used on Gentoo.
