BTDTGTTS.

My desktop has Win98 on it, although I only boot into it once a year or 
so.  (There are one or two programs that SELinux won't let work right 
under Wine that I need once in a blue moon or two.)  I've always kept 
the hw clock on local time for simplicity, as it's not exactly hard to 
adjust for Daylight Wasting Time.

When I bought a  new laptop, I blew away Winderz iCandy and put Fedora 
on it as the sole OS.  Naturally, I set it to UTC.  There was a problem 
with Fedora 11 that hung the laptop in a way that made it look like it 
was overheating, meaning I had to diddle with the BIOS trying to figure 
it out.  (The fix was Fedora 12.)  Naturally, I forgot I'd set it to 
UTC, causing great confusion until I remembered what I'd done.
