I prefer ISO date format under US or Canadian English as a system wide
default. It would be nice to do this without having to jump through a
bunch of hoops to achieve it.
It would be nice to have a choice in data/time setting or language
settings similar to what is in (yech) Windows. Something that would
allow setting the date format and choosing the time display format.
I tried mucking around in the date format settings but didn't get any
success.

I don't think that would be linux-specific, rather KDE (or Gnome)
specific. Linux handles dates only as unix timestamps, no?

I want the CLI date command to display the result in ISO format. This
is before Gnome or KDE. Thus system wide changes.
If I type in date, I get this.
Wed Oct 19 08:30:31 MDT 2005
I would be happy with "Wed 2005-Oct-19 08:30:31 MDT" or any format
with a Y-M-D format.
You are correct that it is only a time stamp but it is in the language
on how it is displayed. I have played with the locale settings in the
past with no success.
It would be nice if there was a simple point and click or command line
to change the format of just the date, or whatever. Some program that
allows easy changing of LC_TIME. I would like to stick with en_US.utf8.
I will have to find some time and look into it again as I was still
using RH8 the last time I looked.
