<para>Linux uses separate clocks for each of these. On a linux only system, the hardware clock is usually set to UTC (Universal Time Coordinate), the network standard. The network and file operations clock are usually just views of the hardware clock by linux. For display, linux usually shifts the hardware clock according to the timezone and date.</para>
<para>Since Windows supports only one clock, you must decide (unless you live in Greenwich England) whether to set the hardware clock to local time or UTC.</para>
<para>If you use UTC, you will have to mentally convert the time displayed by Windows to local time.</para>
<para>If you use local time, some network activity may become confused. International email problems are most commonly reported. Mail sent from Berlin at 1300 local time may be stored a second later in New York at 1200 UTC where it awaits a channel to its San Francisco destination. To save space, the New York host may delete mail that could not be sent in a reasonable time of 30min. If the Berlin mail was unclear that ti was sent at 1300 Berlin time, or if the New York host is unwilling to do the conversion, the email may be lost as undliverable after 1 hour (1300 - 1200).</para>
