    No problem. Let it remove the ubuntu-minimal package. It’s only a dummy package.

    What does NTP sync do? How will removing it affect my system? I know I can just google it but it seems that this sort of information should be included to save me the trouble.

    @Ninja Pirate: NTP is an acronym for Network Time Protocol. All it does is sync your system’s clock with online servers.
