Linux and Y2K

[Richard Andrews]

  As far as I know, Linux is Y2K safe because of the date mechanism running by
seconds since 1980 (or whenever it is). However, what problems can be expected
when using a BIOS which is not Y2K compliant.

  I'm running a Pentium system and I know for a fact that the BIOS will have
Y2K problems. What I don't know is whether those problems will flow on to the
operating system.

Thanks
