Linux can be configured to set the hardware clock to either local or UTC time, though all Linux/Unix time stamps are UTC and then converted to local time. I don't know if it still occurs, but years ago, when logging into a Windows domain in a different time zone would change your computer's time. Such a thing wouldn't happen in Linux, where everything works in UTC.
Hummm... Not surprised our friends in Redmond had something to do with this... The workaround/solution is simply enough. My question is, whenever I need to boot M$N and then boot back to opensuse, I go to yast ->date/time and re-sync up with the UTC. Sometimes, I forget to do that and should I do an update with YOU, it *really* messes up the zypper database and what packages need to be updated, etc...
My question is, why does the clock not get re-synced to the UTC at boot time? I could add a couple of lines in the startup scripts to do so, but you'd think that should be automatic. Does that make sense?

You shouldn't have to go into Yast on booting back into Linux. Simply configure Linux so the hardware clock is local. Then configure Windows so that it won't change the clock for DST.
