So, say you save a file at 3:00 in winter. When you mount it any other time on any part of the world, any time zone, any time of the year, in an msdos system, it will still say 3:00.
Yes, and linux should do the same.
No, Linux is not Windows. I will try an experiment later, time allowing.
For example how the computer knows the dates when the daylight saving have to be applied? It differs in different countries. And not all country uses daylight saving times.
Because Linux has a database of all timezones and timeshifts, with historical data, applied every time you display a time as needed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
