and have rubbish exif info in every picture?  no thanks.
at least that is OS independent and the only correct data
no matter what.

this is like saying, set your watch to UTC and when
looking at the time, do the math yourself...

what i am trying to say is, that at least for me it doesn't
make sense by default to apply TZ to files on the disk
(apart perhaps from the newly created ones).

but that's just me, perhaps i'll just set the bios to my
TZ and point /etc/localtime to GMT and turn off ntpd....
i prefer my file dates untouched--TZ agnostic, and i hate this
timezone business altogether.

with nptd -s the bios time doesnt matter at all anymore.
