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.
