This surfaced at a meeting, but I can't recall the outcome ...
Windows likes to fiddle with the system BIOS clock and set it to the correct local time for example when changing to summertime / daylight saving time.
Linux (big generalisation here) seems to assume the system clock is set to the time zone and makes the DST correction in the displayed time within the OS.
The result is you get double summer time in Ubuntu if dual booting on a machine with Windows.
SuSE has a tick box to make it act like Windows - what's best practice for setting Ubuntu so that it reads the correct time ?
Options that come to mind include deselecting daylight saving (if its an option) or picking a time zone that doesn't do DST but I guess there's a tweak there somewhere.
