I've been dual-booting to Windows to play DiabloII (I know it's a 2-3 year
old game but it's highly addictive :)   I have Norton AntiVirus installed,
that is set to scan at 4am or something like that.  The machine is rarely on
at that time, but there is something weird with my timezones.

I _think_ my BIOS is set to GMT (or UTC, what's the difference?) and Linux
adjusts that according to my timezone setting.  In windows, when I change
timezones it wants to update my BIOS (I'm guessing).  So there is a constant
battle between my Linux and Windows sides b/c I set the timezone in Windows
so NAV won't do lots of processing in the background, but when I boot Linux,
ntpdate resets my time back.  What's the best way to handle this madness?
How do most people have their timezones set up?  My clue to windows
resetting my BIOS clock is that everytime I boot to windows, it's a
different time but the timezone is the same as when I last tried to adjust
it to current time.

Thanks,
Rob
