The base Linux clock is in UTC as seconds since Midnight 1/1/1970. The kernel itself has no notion of "time zone" or "daylight savings". Instead the time you see depends on home your time zone variables are said eg try TZ=GMT date TZ=Europe/London date This recongizes that multiple users may be in different time zones (and likewise the locale handling allows different languages, sorting etc per user)
