Those aren't the only hypervisors out there, and the decision process should depend upon the hypervisor (to a significant degree), not just the idea of "can I do this in a VM?" Not all hypervisors are created equally. On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 7:14 AM, Pierre Schweitzer < pie...@reactos.org > wrote: Hi, It is still a bad idea.

I've run KVM based NTP servers inside vm's (2 as active:standby) and dozens of ntp clients inside vm's for over a year now and seen no adverse results. Admittedly I've not been checking the drift but I can vouch for the results. Regards Adam King <blockquote> </blockquote>
