I don't think so. "To change the computer to use UTC after installation, edit the file /etc/default/rcS, change the variable UTC to no. If you happened to install your system to use local time, just change the variable to yes to start using UTC." --- http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html >> hwclock --systohc --utc >> hwclock --hctosys --utc > > This fix change my BIOS CMOS clock using UTC, correct?

In the past I have kept my Linux distro installation to not use UTC by specifying them not to change the hardware clock and to see it as local time since my Windows installation use local time (demands that BIOS clock be local time). Now, however, I am trying the other way around. The windows partition has Windows 7. I have changes its registry entry to make it use UTC time (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Make Windows use UTC). However, I have had to make it get time over the network (from a time server) to show the correct time. I have also had to make Fedora 13 and Debian Testing check a time server to show the correct time. All OSes now show the same correct time (unless something has changed between reboots :-? ). In Debian, I have: ~$ grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS UTC=no ~$ date Wed Jul 14 12:39:10 EDT 2010 -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
