Don't know if this has implications or not, however did you try Europe/London instead of UTC/GMT? My /etc/conf.d/clock is set to CLOCK=UTC. In this case, there isn't any clock change. The time is just displayed differently. Is there anything else I am supposed to look into? Your HW (bios) clock. Make sure you have CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes in /etc/conf.d/clock, so that upon system shutdown the HW clock will be adjusted to system clock. HTH...

I never recall having any problems setting my system clock and getting it to automatically adjust to the British Summer Time change. I recently moved my fs from my desktop to a laptop.

Strange. The timezone UTC itself isn't supposed to provide any daylight saving. It's just the base for all other timezones.
