0
I need to set my timezone to UTC -8, I only see options to set to PST or GMT-8. Is there a way to make it show as UTC-8?
I am running RHEL6.

aren't UTC and GMT the same?

Technically, they're not the same, per that link. UTC is a standard, rather than a timezone, so shouldn't actually be an option for the timezone. I do recall a disagreement decades ago, in which UTC supported leap seconds and GMT didn't, which made them be different by a few seconds, but that's been resolved asTZ=GMT date; TZ=UTC datereports the same time twice, apart from calling one GMT and one UTC.
