| And in most cases, desktop clocks don't need to be set to UTC, and
| many Linux users dual-boot between Linux and Windows, and may be turned
| off by the UTC setting.  I think the better choice would be to leave the
| clock set to local, and let advanced users set it to UTC later if they
| desire.

FWIW, Windows XP uses UTC for the hardware clock.  I think we should
stay with what we are.
