Alright, when I go to YaST - "Clock and Time Zone Configuration", I see
"Hardware clock set to UTC", I see "Region = USA" and "Time Zone =
Eastern". Are we talking about a different hardware clock here?

Which?  UTC is not USA/Eastern.  UTC is GMT.  The h/w clock should be
set
to UTC/GMT+0.  Use timezones in the operating systems to get the correct
local time.  Not doing this causes many apps (e.g. e-mail) to send the
wrong timestamps as they try to convert from local time to GMT and vice
versa.
