To have my linux box set to GMT I first used the date command to set the
system time and then used "hwclock --utc --systohc" to set the hardware
clock to the same time as the system.
By the way, (for anybody listening) when I live my PC on for several days
I have found that the hardware clock and th system time differ in HOURS.
Is that OK? Should I use cron to update the hardware clock every now and then?
