-=-

from appearance, as above arranged, when you give first "date" command,
time being displayed is with "dst"/"daylight savings time" adjustment.

if you will, read 'man/info' files for "hwclock" and "date", wherein
you will find displaying/setting of "time", "zone", and "dst".

you do not mention which v/r os or desktop. with most v/r, desktop, there
will be a 'gui' for setting "system-config-services" and correcting "dst"
irritations.

i run 'utc' for both bios/mainboard clock and system clock, and i do not
use "dst".

i run "ntpd" and see little drift from;
