12.2. Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC)
For purposes of addressing time zones, Universal Co-ordinated
Time is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
If Fedora is the only operating system on your computer, select
System clock uses UTC
. The system clock is a

setting to determine the offset between the local time and UTC on
the system clock. This behavior is standard for UNIX-like
operating systems.
