Time difference between Win98 and Fedora

[rhl]

You could just use atomic clock in 98 and setup ntp in linux... then no
hands!

You are, of course, correct. I should have said that you can get things
to be correct in both OS's, and reboot to either at will, by setting the
time to local on both sides. This will work 363 days per year... and
twice per year, you'll get thrown off.

I do not know of a "perfect" way to keep both clocks correct, showing
local time, and not upsetting each other. I just consider two time
corrections per year the "necessary evil" of dual-booting. :-(
