Maybe :)  If you are duel-booting[1] Linux and Windows, it's a good way of
ensuring that either Linux or Windows or possibly both has no idea what
time it is.  If you are only running Linux on that machine, it doesn't
matter what you say, although setting the CMOS clock to GMT has
advantages if you live somewhere odd where they have daylight saving.
