Just wanted to report how it is going with my machine with these steps as well. I gave the above two commands and rebooted. BIOS clock showed UTC. Booting into Windows 7 (which is set to take BIOS time as UTC time by the registry change I mentioned in an earlier post) and in Fedora 7 shows the right time. Rebooted, confirm BIOS was still on UTC and logged in to Debian. The time was still correctly displayed as EDT. $ grep -i utc /etc/default/rcS UTC=yes ~/tmp$ date Thu Jul 15 14:40:18 EDT 2010 ~/tmp$ date --utc Thu Jul 15 18:40:22 UTC 2010 So, er, I am still not sure how to understand this: "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." --- http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html -- Please reply to this list only.
