Linux Tutorial Series – 163 – Time

Here is the video version, if you prefer it:

A quick word on time in Linux – incorrect time can cause web browser issues. (“How to troubleshoot time related errors on secure websites,” n.d.)⁠ Many distributions support using the NTP (Network Time Protocol) daemon to maintain the time using the remote server. (Ward, 2014)⁠ You can also mangle with timezones, but I never needed this. My advice: Don’t mangle with time unless you really need to (such as when you find the error above). I never had to.

Thank you for reading!
