[ale] ntp for debian workstation

[jheim at math.wisc.edu (John Heim)]

I'm a bit confused as to which package to install on a debian workstation, 
ntp, ntp-simple, or ntp-server. I've googled for howtos but so many of them 
are out of date. Others give contradictory info. I think all I have to do is 
install ntp-simple.  Even though ntp nneds to run a daemon, that is not the 
same as ntp-server, right? ntp-server is for machines that tell other 
machines what time it is, right?

I've configured my dhcp server to tell clients the IP address of my ntp 
servers.  So I think all I've got to do on each workstation I set up is 
'apt-get install ntp-simple'.
