Most of our servers are configured run GMT which is UTC in the winter 
and UTC+1 (BST) in the summer - this way the server logs etc. all report 
the correct time for us here in the UK.

I'm not sure if we are doing it right but have not noticed any problems 
before so the way we do it is we configure the setting in the 
config.inc.php to match that of the server vtiger is running on, e.g. 
"Europe/London", and then users set whatever is their own local time in 
their preferences.
