Ubuntu question UTC vs. localtime.



I was just helping one of the installfest attendees who was having trouble 
with his wireless -- it is now working.

The other problem is that apparently when he installed it he set the clock 
the UTC, but he also dual boots Windows. I was wondering how I can instruct 
him how to change that from UTL to localtime so he can maintain his 
hardware clock at localtime. 

In SuSE, it is easy to set in /etc/sysconfig/clock which is read 
by /etc/init.d/boot.clock. But, ubuntu and Debian are quite different.
