i personally have the clock set to UTC and have kde clock set to local. this in my opinion is the best choice and i think that every hw clock should be set to UTC since it represents the computers' time in my opinion. every date calculation is made converting to UTC and calculating the difference between the UTC and the impute date converted. this is the right way to handle dates and this, in my opinion, is the reason to why set the clock to the UTC.
