No need for YACS in Mint?

Hi All, Many years ago, I needed to install YACS (yet another clock synchronizer) into my Red Hat (?) system, to keep my hardware clock from "drifting" over time. No mention of it, or anything on clock synchronizers, that I can find for my Linux Mint 17 Qiana. Not needed? Handled elsewhere as a standard feature? Thanks, Carl Turney Bayswater, Vic
