I seem to remember some project (DF?) which wasn't very happy when I changed the PC clock while it was running -- I recall the behavior being it aborted the WU and restarted. I cant recall if that was both a backwards, forwards, or both clock adjustment. Does anyone have confidence that the Windows, and Linux, FAD clients won't mind the PC clock being set forward an hour?

Just wondering if I should make sure my Windows PCs are not set to automagically adjust for the time change, and also shut down FAD before making the adjustment.

:confused:

It worked OK for me in the past but I do not know I got or lost 1 hour of points
But it did not stop the client or server So it was OK

i thought i heard that indiana was considering getting away with not changing their clocks like almost everyone else in the world.

I'm from Indiana and Indiana IS trying to get away from not changing times. Where will I hide now!? I hate the whole changing the clock deal, it's stupid. Indiana has no reason to conform with everyone else. I like how my TV shows change times.

I enjoy that when I go to West Virginia every few months that I sometimes "lose" an hour going there, but on the trip home I "gain" an hour coming back. It's nice being able to cross over from Ohio to Indiana and it jump from 6PM to 5PM.
