Andreas Jaeger 626b92bea2 Install Guide: Basic Chapter fixes openSUSE/SLES 
Since SLES 12 and openSUSE 13.2 both use systemd, we can remove special
handling for them and also merge instructions with the Fedora based
distros.

Update specifice instructions in Basic chapter.

<para>You must install

properly synchronize services among nodes. We recommend that you configure

<para>By default, the controller node synchronizes the time via a pool
of public servers. However, you can optionally edit the
<filename>/etc/ntp.conf</filename> file to configure alternative
servers such as those provided by your organization.</para>
<step>
<para>Edit the <filename>/etc/ntp.conf</filename> file and add,
change, or remove the following keys as necessary for your
environment:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">server <replaceable>NTP_SERVER</replaceable> iburst

restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify</programlisting>
<para>Replace <replaceable>NTP_SERVER</replaceable> with the
hostname or IP address of a suitable more accurate (lower stratum)
NTP server. The configuration supports multiple
<literal>server</literal> keys.</para>

remove the <literal>nopeer</literal> and <literal>noquery</literal>
