Quoting dwain
Could some one explain why there is a 5 hour difference between my system clock and the clock in opensuse? Opensuse is running 5 hours behind. I have the time zone set to Central. I don't quite understand. I downloaded the time zone patch today when I reinstalled the os. I'm puzzled.
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.
