This morning, I experimented with hwclock, based on the suggestions by
Mary Gardiner at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/91418/comments/11

My results show that changing the time in the Gnome Clock applet (see
above) does not change the system (hardware) time. Oddly, though,
despite the system time being off by an hour, it still thought that DST
was on. I have a Dell Dimension 4700. Are there any hardware issues that
could be causing this? (Please excuse the beginner-level question.) In
the meantime, here is my hwclock output from this morning:

$ hwclock --show

Mon 10 Mar 2008 08:24:54 AM EDT  -0.018252 seconds

sudo hwclock --systohc

hwclock --show

Mon 10 Mar 2008 09:25:21 AM EDT  -0.001562 seconds
