That wouldn't be a problem as long as the system does a translation.  But
I'm afraid that if I view the files in mc for example, that they would all
show as GMT.  But then maybe not depending on what system call any
particular app uses to get the information.  

It's been quite a while since I tried it - it may have been with the 2.0
kernel series.  But at that time, the reason I didn't switch to using GMT
was this issue; and I seem to remember that cran was alwso skewed by it.

Guess I'll try it again.
