Sync time (date) between Windows and Linux on a Intel based P.C.

1. First look at the file /etc/default/rcS and be sure the UTC flag is set to "no".
   example:
   UTC=no
   
   Unix based (non intel based P.C.'s) will have it as "yes". The problem is that Intel based P.C.s keep the time/date information in your bios with the local time zone.
   



2. Ensure the time zone is correct. Run "tzconfig". (time zone configuration)



3. Ensure the time and date is correct using the date command. ex: date 0309105701 will set the software clock to March 9th, 10:57am, 2001.
   MMDDHHMMYY format
