OK here's a weird question.

I have like, 7 year old hardware. I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed. If I ever have a need to go into the BIOS, it's showing the time incorrect - I think it's showing it in GMT. I'm in EST. When I go into Ubuntu, it reflects the time accurately in the OS.

If I correct the time in the BIOS and go into Ubuntu then reboot into BIOS again, the time is once again set to GMT.

Is this normal behavior?

    Your system time should be in UTC. Here's some light reading: http://yellerapp.com/posts/2015-01-12-the-worst-server-setup-you-can-make.html – jfa Dec 17 '16 at 06:40

Yes, it is normal to have the BIOS time in UTC.
