<div dir="ltr">Raspberry PI is great if you want something small. It could do ntp, file serving, anything reasonable you want it to do. The only drawback is making it neat looking. By the time you buy a power supply, a case, and a CAT 5 cable to your router, you end up spending some money. If you want to buy local, gigaparts has them in stock. <div>

.... I just got done upgrading my daily driver. I am going to re-purpose the old one into a monowall box. However, the old one is also currently the ntpd server for my LAN. I might be able to podge another box together to do that job, assuming some apparently non-functional hardware is really just playing possum, or .... I could drop <$40.00 on a Raspberry Pi B+ from NewEgg & use that. it is running some sort of Linux, either directly (Debian or arch images are available) or its own OS which I think is Linux derived. I figure I should be able to get ntpd going, especially on the Debian & use that box as an ntpd server for the network .... Whaddaya think, good idea, all wet, something else .... TIA for advice &/or opinions ....<br>
