3.8.2. Chrony
Fedora 16 uses Chrony as the default Network Time Protocol (NTP)
client. Chrony is designed to work well even on systems with no
permanent network connection (such as laptops), and is capable of
much faster time synchronisation than standard ntp. Chrony has
several advantages when used in systems running on virtual machines,
such as a larger range for frequency correction to help correct
quickly drifting clocks, and better response to rapid changes in the
clock frequency. It also has a smaller memory footprint and no
unnecessary process wakeups, improving power efficiency.
Since Chrony is installed by default, ntpd is not.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
