The date command has nothing to do with KDE. The date command is part |
| 46 |
of this package: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
root@smoker ~ # equery belongs date |
| 49 |
* Searching for date ... |
| 50 |
sys-apps/coreutils-8.4 (/bin/date) |
| 51 |
root@smoker ~ # |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
That is a system package. KDE gets the time info from the system |
| 54 |
itself. Keep in mind, Linux is a command line OS. You are able to put |
| 55 |
a GUI such as KDE, Gnome etc etc, on top of that system. Unlike |
| 56 |
Windoze, you can have a system with absolutely no monitor at all. Heck, |
| 57 |
most servers run that way. They have no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse |
| 58 |
or anything of the sort. Most windoze boxes need that and have a GUI |
| 59 |
even if you don't use the monitor. Gentoo usually teaches a person |
| 60 |
that. The first time you boot up, if you follow the handbook, you get a |
| 61 |
command line and nothing else. I usually cheat a little bit and can get |
| 62 |
a GUI tho. ;-) |
| 63 |

Linux has a factory preset but you have to tell it what time zone you |
| 65 |
are in. Same with any OS I guess. After all, you can have a OS |
| 66 |
anywhere in the world. The computer has no idea where the heck it is |
| 67 |
until someone tells it. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Glad you got that one sorted tho. |
