Yes. When your system is initialising somewhere it is running the command
hwclock --hctosys
too set the system clock to the value of the hardware clock.
Set your hardware clock to GMT and ensure you initialise with
hwclock --hctosys -u
If you run SuSE you can do this by changing the value of $GMT in
/etc/rc.config too '-u'
