FreeBSD Server Time Configs???

Hi-

Im fixing up my FreeBSD server and I just want to take a poll for people who are running FreebSd servers.

The question is, what time format do you use? UTC or Local Time?

I have noticed that this forum websites time format runs on UTC Time. Is there a reasom why so many Linux/FreeBSD servers run UTC Time format?

I found it some time ago out of my curiosity, but you can check out this link. Maybe you can make some correlation between what UTC's for, and why Linux/BSD systems would use it.
