Quoting: # /etc/conf.d/clock # Set CLOCK to "UTC" if your system clock is set to UTC (also known as # Greenwich Mean Time). If your clock is set to the local time, then # set CLOCK to "local". Note that if you dual boot with Windows, then # you should set it to "local". CLOCK="local" > -- > Recedite, plebes!
