Changing The Country And Time Settings - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 - DEPLOYMENT GUIDE 17-03-2009 Deployment Manual

10.2 Changing the Country and Time
Settings
Using the YaST date and time module, adjust your system date, clock and time zone
information to the area you are working in. First, select a general region, such as Europe,
for example. Choose an appropriate time zone that matches the one you are working
in, for example, Germany.
Depending on which operating systems run on your workstation, adjust the hardware
clock settings, accordingly:
• If you run another operating system on your machine, such as Microsoft Windows*,
it is likely your system does not use UTC, but local time. In this case, uncheck
Hardware Clock Set To UTC.
• If you only run Linux on your machine, set the hardware clock to UTC and have
the switch form standard time to daylight saving time performed automatically.
You can change the date and time manually or opt for synchronizing your machine
against an NTP server, either permanently or just for adjusting your hardware clock. If
you want to set date and time manually, proceed as follows:
