I have a potential project to build a small cluster of computers to do
a certain complex task which requires accurate timekeeping. But these
computers are also not going to be connected to the internet, so using
some NTP servers on the internet to get time isn't an option. What are
good choices of _hardware_ to obtain to get accurate timekeeping based
on receiving WWV transmissions at 60 kHz, and have stable oscillators
to hold that time within 0.1 ppm when WWV can't be received ... AND can
work with Linux (presumably anything with an ethernet and NTP support
should be just fine, but something with another means might need its own
driver).
