[CentOS] System Time - UTC and Local Time

2011-12-01 Thread Johan Martinez
I have installed CentOS on a VM by checking 'System Clock uses UTC' option. Later I selected CST time zone. Now the date command shows UTC time with CST timezone: "Thu Dec 1 04:14:39 CST 2011". How do I change system clock to show CST local time? Also, more likely a dumb question but why isn't d
