As quoted by Brian earlier in this thread, the VMware knowledge base
offers their "best practices for Linux guests" in :
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006427
for VMware products including ESX and ESXi. According to their
current recommendations, " In all cases use NTP instead of VMware
Tools periodic time synchronization."
The above KB articles gets updated from time to time, so it is a good
idea to check it back occasionally.
