Somehow that doesn't sound right. Setting the CMOS to GMT would throw off the
time on all other OS's you run (Wimpdoze, DOS, OS/2, etc. etc.)
I keep my CMOS at localtime. Linux knows which timezone that refers to by the
timezone setting I select. However I did not automate the time change. I did
it manually. Come to think of it, my CMOS should have automated it for me (if
I understand correctly). As for Linux, check the how-to file for the Clock; it
is a very good resource on the subject.
