The other trick is to tell Windows 7 not to jump the the time when summer hour comes. This is what I have (and local time in the cmos), but I'm not very happy with it...
When I started Linux this Sunday morning (summer time here was the early hours of Sunday), Linux was displaying the old time, one hour slow. I had to play with "rcntp ntptimeset".
Then I booted Windows, and it also displayed the wrong hour, meaning that the CMOS was not adjusted correctly by Linux (local time). I had to manually adjust it as well.
On next reboot to Linux, this was showing the correct hour.
So I have to wonder about this trick of telling Windows to use UTC in the cmos.
Linux would get the summer time information correct, as it does on my Linux only machines. But will Windows do the same, or do I have to adjust it manually?
With Linux the reference for the kernels system clock is UTC. Otherwise time zone data files like /etc/localtime and below /usr/share/zoneinfo will not work. A possible TZ variable is identical to one of the files (including the sub directory) below /usr/share/zoneinfo.
