Description Alan Cox 2004-09-08 11:55:17 UTC
Description of problem:


msgid 
"You can also select the <guilabel>System Clock uses UTC</guilabel>
option."
"(UTC, also known as GMT, allows your system to properly handle daylight-"
"saving time.) Select this if your computer's hardware clock is set to
UTC, "
"instead of being set to your local time."

GMT (post 1925) is sort of the same as UT1 not UTC. In fact right now
UT1/GMT and UTC are about 30 seconds apart relative to the 1970 Unix
base time clock.

Changed the text and committed the change to CVS.
Jeremy - need you to build/integrate for inclusion in RHEL and Fedora.

Text now reads as:
You can also select the System Clock uses UTC option. (UTC, or
Coordinated Universal Time, allows your system to properly handle
daylight-saving time.) Select this if your computer's hardware clock
is set to UTC, instead of being set to your local time.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-09-09 14:16:39 UTC
Setting as MODIFIED (it's fixed in CVS, I'll do another build halfway
between milestones)

Comment 3 Alan Cox 2004-09-10 14:30:55 UTC
Please remember to warn the translators
