If you use Gentoo you can emerge NTP and then set it up to run at boot to ensure your date is right on. This snip assumes you are in Central Timezone:

#ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime #emerge net-misc/ntp #ntpdate ntp1.kansas.net #echo "ntpdate ntp1.kansas.net" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

"pool.ntp.org" might be a better choice. If the box stays up for any length of time, you may want to setup ntpd instead. This should be a matter of

emerge net-misc/ntp rc-update add ntpd default /etc/init.d/ntpd start

under Gentoo. The default ntpd.conf points to pool.ntp.org by default nowadays, AFAIK.
