Unless your computer double boots with Windows, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use local time in cmos.
1-Windows and Linux are not the only operating systems multibooters use.
Ok. That is one reason.
2-To some, multiboot means multiple machines, which work best on a LAN where all connected have synchronized clocks.
I don't see why the LAN would be related to the cmos clock a particular machine has.
3-I really don't care what time it is outside my time zone.
Me neither, that is not relevant to the issue.
So, there are at least five reasons justifying use of local time: 2, [Free,MS,PC] DOS, Windows, OS/2, LAN. Likely there are others.
Only one reason: multiboot. I may add another: virtual machines in vmware. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
