Replying to [comment:4 leavengood]:
> I think Oliver is right in that if the hardware clock is set to local
time then that is your time, and setting the time zone isn't really
needed.
But I never said that: of course it is '''important''' to set the time
zone, as otherwise the times written to filesystems (usually in UTC) would
use the wrong offset. Many networking apps will show incorrect times, too,
if the timezone hasn't been set correctly.
> Now the question is how to best handle that without confusing users. The
preview is certainly misleading in that case so maybe it should just be
hidden as Axel says?

Thanks, I'd be all for hiding the preview in case of the BIOS clock being
set to local time.
