Remember GMT > is a "time zone" while UTC is a standard. :-) Well, yeah. But I'm a pilot and we always use UTC. My systems are set to UTC. A lot of the timezones are symlinked to Etc/UTC and it's listed as "canonical", so perhaps we're both right. Nyaah! Thppppt! :-p >> A UTC hardware clock will confuse the hell out of Windows.

It's been a LONG time since I futzed with it but that's what I recall.
