Or just cheat like I do. I set Windows to GMT with no daylight saving |
13 |
offset, so it won't be tempted into playing with my system clock. |

Gentoo thinks CLOCK="UTC". I don't boot into Windows often enough to |
15 |
care about the clock being off by an hour during the summer (or |
16 |
roughly 5 hours year-round when I move back to the States). Having |
17 |
long accepted that Operating System is broken, when should I demand it |
18 |
to keep the right time? ;) |
