In any case, NTP is not the only thing that adjusts the clock, e.g. the operating system will adjust the time for daylight savings. Daylight savings time is not a clock adjustment, at least not in the sense this thread has mostly been talking about the word "clock". It doesn't affect the "seconds from epoch" measurement, it affects the way in which the clock is formatted to the user.
Ah yes, you're right. The system clock uses the UTC time zone on Linux and Windows, and it is not affected by DST.
