Re: [SLE] GPS Time Standard and Linux NTP

This is a follow-up topic to the NTP thread of a couple weeks ago...
for those of you who may be interested in accessing GPS as a time
standard for your local Suse NTP server, as an alternative to using
one of the primary or secondary external NTP servers. Often folks
forget about the GPS alternative.

I think the reason is that GPS receivers with the proper interfaces
available are usually in a very different price class to DCF77
(Germany), Kalundborg (Denmark), MSF Rugby (UK) or HBG (Switzerland)
longwave receivers. Some of these can be built for a few euros,
especially if you've got a soldering iron and the basic parts.
