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.
One nice thing about Unix & Linux is the file date and time are stored in UTC. This means that no matter where you are, DST or not, you always get the correct file time. This is different from Windows, where the file date & time are dependent on time zone. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
