My clock is supposedly set to UTC.  When I originally installed, it
wasn't, and there was no documentation for changing it, but I figured
that I needed to add a -u to the appropriate init script.  Here then
is /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh:

GMT=-u
#
#       Set and adjust the CMOS clock.
#
if [ ! -f /etc/adjtime ]
then
        echo "0.0 0 0.0" > /etc/adjtime
fi
if [ -x /sbin/hwclock ]
then
        [ "$GMT" = "-u" ] && GMT="--utc"
        hwclock --adjust $GMT
        hwclock --hctosys $GMT
else
        [ "$GMT" = "--utc" ] && GMT="-u"
        clock -a $GMT
fi

#
#       Now that /usr/lib/zoneinfo should be available,
#       announce the local time.
#
if [ "$VERBOSE" != no ]
then
        echo
        echo "Local time: `date`"
        echo
fi

Cool; my uncle lives just outside Sioux Falls and works there.  He
also is a volunteer chairman for the Minn-Kota sale in the Arena
each year, if you've ever been to it.
