Times seem to be much more confusing. The old phpBB system would show me the timestamps of posts based on my selected timezone. But I'm not sure what the Vb system is doing, it seems to know that I use EDT as my timezone, but it is showing me timestamps on other posts based on some other time zone, which is not specified. That is to say it is 4 something PM here but I'm seeing posts that were supposedly made at 9 something PM today. That is pretty useless without either translating the time to my time zone or, at a minimum, running the entire system on GMT time.
Other than that, this is my first post on the new system, really just making this post to see how things work.

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

I saw a post recently about problems with clock-setting (system vs. hardware), which seems very similar in nature; what exactly is the standard for timekeeping in Linux? And why is there not ONE standard way that's handled, now that we've seen the "Y2K problem" through to another new decade?

I saw it too. I thought it could be BIOS clock battery related, but when it comes for Knoppix 6.2 the time is 1980 every time I start my sys, so I think the battery is being low on power .') I don't know about Y2K as I can't run my sys without shutting it down for 20 years. Maybe I'll search for some battery I think :P
