	It depends. If you want your system clock(the time you see in
	linux) to be exactly the same as your hardware clock(The time
	kept in your computer), then no. YOu can just delete them.

	If you want those two times to be different. Then yes.

	To set your hardware clock:

		hwclock --set --date="the current time";

	Now, transfer your hardware clock to your system clock:

		hwclock --hctosys

	Now, you system clock should be the exactly the same as your
	hardware clock. To make sure the time consistent after reboot,

		rm /etc/adjtime

	Then you should be fine....
