Yep. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

However, you might want to verify that it keeps the PC clock adjusted between server queries. Sudden time changes can really screw up some build processes, with "interesting" results. If your PC clock runs slow, it's not usually an issue, but if it runs fast and gets set back, watch out! This is why Sun boxes allow you to speed up or slow down the clock to change the time.
