Your hardware clock is probably set to UTC (GMT). If you are not dual booting
with Windows, this is a good thing to do. It makes a number of things easier
when dealing with computers in several times zones, e.g., using rsync to keep
a shared file or directory in sync between your laptop and your desktop.
