This morning, I experimented with hwclock, based on the suggestions by Mary Gardiner at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/91418/comments/11

My results show that changing the time in the Gnome Clock applet (see above) does not change the system (hardware) time. Oddly, though, despite the system time being off by an hour, it still thought that DST was on. I have a Dell Dimension 4700. Are there any hardware issues that could be causing this? (Please excuse the beginner-level question.) In the meantime, here is my hwclock output from this morning:

$ hwclock --show

sudo hwclock --systohc

hwclock --show
