Should be. But RedHat 7.0 - 7.2 had nice problems the time written into
filesystem at setup was in future after the first reboot.
At every installation I've had set the CMOS-clock three hours into future
and three hours back at first reboot.
Obviously something about calculating local time was wrong in the
setup-routines.

And of course, never forget the "CMOS uses GMT"-option when recompiling a
kernel! ;o)
