The dates are displayed based on your Region/Language settings. In windows, when I change from English (United States) to English (Canada), the date changes from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.

I'm not sure about what to change in Linux.

This works indeed, but curiously not in all places. For example I can find the following on the My Grid page: "Statistics Last Updated: 10/08/11 12:05:32 (UTC) [2 hour(s) ago]" -- which is okay, obviously. Also fine are the dates on the Result Status page.
But when going to the Device Statistics page, there I can read for one of my machines under Last Result Returned: "08/09/2011 20:31:52" -- which doesn't quite fit. The same error/inconsistency can be found at the bottom of the My Grid page concerning the dates of team memberships and possibly in a few other places as well...

I have no issue with any of the many timeFormats (although I have a preference timeFormat) as long as any applied timeFormat is enforced consistently across all areas in a given domain.

The year is displayed as 4digit in:
1] (member) Status
2] Last Result Returned (under Device Statistics)
3] Statistics Date (under Device Statistics History)
4] Date Installed and Registered (under Device Manager)

The year is displayed as 2digit in:
1] timeDue/returnTime
2] sentTime
3] lastResultReturned (under the cruncher's MyGrid)
4] statisticsLastUpdated

Throw in to the mix the confusion between the 2digit month and the 2digit date-of-the-month, and we sure could use some consistency, else cross-referencing between dates/times becomes difficult. I think there is a way to write code (in JavaScript) so as to display time in a webPage in any desired timeFormat regardless of the OS, browser, languageSettings, locale, or configuration. For now, there is no way for a cruncher to select a desired timeFormat to display as the cruncher views cruncher data/stats in WCG in a browserWindow.
