Traditionally, on *NIX-only boxen you set the firmware time to UTC. Local time in Eugene (PST) is UTC -8. Conventional wisdom moreover suggests that the OS from Redmond does not understand setting the time zone in the OS and thus will report whatever it gets from the BIOS; on my dual boot boxen i set the BIOS time to local zone time. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759. _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
