When to use UTC?
Always :-)
Hehe, I'd love to eliminate local time and I particularly hate daylight saving time.
This is irrelevant.
If I set my BIOS clock to use UTC the date command will still show me the correct wall-clock time, including DST.
If I dualboot with Windows, Windows will change the clock when DST changes, then time will be wrong in Linux, hence the need for the two possibilities.

You can also tell windows to not follow DST updates.
