It's not a big deal, it won't affect the accuracy of the clock or anything
like that. Internally Linux works with UTC, it's just that your RTC will
be 10/11 hours behind if you use localtime.
For RH, to change to UTC it's easy:
Edit /etc/sysconfig/clock and change to UTC=true
(You may want to sync Linux to a NTP server at this point.)
Propagate the change to the RTC by:
hwclock --systohc --utc
Similar procedures apply for other distros.
