Both are accurate I think and I like the looks of the F7 line > better :-) I'm not disputing it's accuracy. I checked the man pages. I didn't ask for, didn't select, nor do I live in Europe, no offense, but I have no interest in European time display. None of you suggestions or comments address my question, and if I preferred the f7 output I wouldn't have brought it up, I obviously prefer the old listing which has been that way in every Unix version that I've worked on for the past 25 years.
It's been suggested that you alias ls or look at LC_TIME. I'd just like to point out 2007-07-17 is ISO, not European format; in full the European format would be 17th July 2007. <http://www.saqqara.demon.co.uk/datefmt.htm> We should really just throw away all ambiguity and stick with seconds since epoch.
