    Suggest using chrony as NTP daemon (#44)
    
    RedHat strongly suggests [0] using chrony instead of ntpd and switched the
    default:
    
    17.1.2. Choosing Between NTP Daemons
    Chrony should be preferred for all systems except for the systems that are
    managed or monitored by tools that do not support chrony, or the systems that
    have a hardware reference clock which cannot be used with chrony.
    
    Feature comparison: [1] and [2].
    
    It's available on RedHat/CentOS as well as Debian/Ubuntu distributions.
