Very Interesting util that hwclock. However, when I ran 'hwclock -r' on 2 |
| 8 |
different gentoo systems, they match the system time rendered by 'date'. |

That was unexpected, as I believe the bios time has never been synce up in |
| 11 |
since these are relatively new systems that I control. Maybe the bios or using |
| 12 |
i2c or acpi synced up the bios(haredware time) to the system time. |

Any way, it's good enough to know about hwclock, and when I roll out |
| 15 |
NTP, I'll delved deeper into this util.... |
