How?
I have set my BIOS clock to local time mainly because I run a dual boot
machine (Windows and Linux). For me, day light saving time changes occur
seamlessly (Debian Testing, but I don't it matters which distro is being
used).
To the OP, as far as I know, practically it makes sense to set the BIOS
to local time in the case where your machine also boots in to Windows.
