Kyle sent me a description of what he is running on QEMU off the list and after reading that I agree that there are some situations where you definitely want your RTC to be UTC. Not your typical desktop use, so local RTC should be default, but UTC RTC has its uses. > As for a cluttered command line.. yes, I agree it is getting > cluttered. I would code up a command line option for the RTC time zone, but for now I will wait and see if there is any consensus regarding some configuration file. It would be much better to have one IMHO. - Bartosz
