   Because of the way Linux servers are commonly used.   
      
   The machine may be located in a remote colo facility in one time zone.   
   A customer may call up with a problem from a different time zone. The   
   sysadmin tasked with fixing the problem may be operating from yet   
   another time zone.   
      
   In this situation, it is helpful to be able to connect to the server   
   and view log messages with times shown in the customer’s time zone, to   
   make it easier to match up messages close to the time the customer   
   reported the problem.   
      
   You’ve never worked across different time zones? I have.
