Major distro's nowadays use a number.distro-name.pool.ntp.org dns hostnames in ntp.conf, where neither Fedora nor Ubuntu make an exception.

Most of these mirrors are independently operated, and (along with their logs) are not under any central control. New mirrors come and go on a fairly regular basis.<br /><br />This arrangement is beneficial for a number of reasons, but it does have the drawback that the collection of global statistics is not feasible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
