*shrug* all I know is I made the mistake of selecting it during
installation and ever since my HW clock was running about 2 days ahead..
for instance, before changing it just then, running hwclock --debug showed
the hw clock was set to about 10am on monday the 7th Feb..
I've now set it and the system time to what they should be.. hopefully
things will be alright once I reboot. because before, whenever I rebooted
my system time was set to that 2 day ahead date/time..
cross fingers for the next reboot (not for 80 or so days by my average of
bad storms and power outs..) certainly never have to reboot it for computer
related reasons :)
