How to configure ntp in Linux

You just need to add the some ntp server in your /etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp/step-tickers

/etc/ntp.conf:
server 192.168.0.5
server 192.168.0.6

/etc/ntp/step-tickers
192.168.0.5
192.168.0.6

Then of course make sure that ntp will start at boot time:
chkconfig –level 2345 ntpd on
chkconfig –list ntpd

And let’s start the service now:
service ntpd start

Change The Storage Location Of 'My Documents'

Normally windows saves the "My Documents" folder on your C-drive. 
But when you right-click on it and go to properties, you can change the location where you want windows to save your Documents folder.
 
I have a partition set up with just windows on it, and all my things i want to keep are on different partitions/disks. 
So now I put My Documents on another partition than where I have windows installed. 
If windows screws up and you have to format your C-drive again, your documents will be spared at least...
