Comment:

 I am evaluating Time tickets due to the recent changes to Time by Hamish
 Morrison which I committed.

 I don't think this is valid anymore, for several reasons.

 Firstly this is really a difficult problem to solve in a general way
 because it depends on what other operating systems are installed on the
 machine. Haiku has a setting to use local or GMT time which is about the
 best it can do. More people use Windows so local time is a better default.

 Secondly now that NTP is built into Time you can at least be sure that
 Haiku will have the right time after booting :)

 Especially after my adding the NTP updating to the Bootscript in r41956.

 So I'm closing this.

Haiku - the operating system.
