Actually, the SYSTEM CLOCK is UTC, right?  Unless you're supporting a
Weeendows dual-boot environment.  Timezone is then a locale setting.

I like to leave the timezone alone, and let uers or applications set the
time zone to whatever they please.

What time zone should you use?  Whatever time zone you like.  If you set
the zone to EST5EDT then then the system locale will adapt DST for you
automatically.
