UTC or no UTC: Problem Solved..thanks!

Lilandra: oh…you know when you’re installing linux (debian, ubuntu, can’t recall the others) it asks you about the hardware time? is it set to utc or not? if it’s sharing with another OS then it’s probably not utc. well suppose you make the wrong decision. how can you change it aside from reinstalling?

Sharrow (and Google): 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. It is best to reboot after editing /etc/default/rcS to get the changes effective.

on linuxchix irc…
