To achieve this in Fedora (and probably will work for Ubuntu too) is to open up system-config-date and under the "Time" tab check the box saying "System clock uses UTC".
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Suvayu. You have solved my problem. Sorry for being late to reply.
You are welcome. :)
I would also recommend turning ntpd on (a check-box on "Date and Time" tab)
I have not done this though. Is it necessary?
As I mentioned, its recommended but not necessary. With ntpd turned on your clock will be kept synchronised with other time servers on the internet. This is a good way to keep your system clock synchronised without worrying about it.
One thing I want to share with you and other users here - I have also been a subscriber to another user's mailing list - though I am not here for long - still the queries I have posted here got quick and perfect solution than elsewhere - it seems to me the users here are more knowledgeable than elsewhere.
I am a very new Fedora user/member of this list. But there are many people on this list who have been here long before GNU/Linux came into existence. So yes, I agree the collective wisdom of mailing lists like this one can be phenomenal. :)
