Preparing the PC

This guide assumes that a Desktop Environment will be installed so stuff that are easily configured on the GUI, will be configured there. Why? because as sysadmin I prefer the easy path (Unless it'll compromise the system stability).

1. Make sure we're using UEFI:

   # ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

2. Start the NTP service

   # timedatectl set-ntp true

   1. Make sure it started without errors:

      # timedatectl status

Assumptions

1. You have DHCP in your network
