If you are worried about your clock and such I wouldn't worry about it
as long as your are using NTP if anything would change locally on the
server I would most likely assume a kernel update and maybe the timezone
files. But I would use NTP to attach to a public atomic clock to be
exact. 

There are a list of public NTP Servers here:
