[lug] NTP and sparkfun GPS module?

[Bear Giles]

I don't know their full catalog - do they have a small system that's able to
run a micro Linux installation? You could make it a wifi device that runs a
NTP server and not much else. You would need to have a way to specify the
wifi key and network address, of course.
