+Sure, let's refactor that section to use UTC as the timezone. This is a common choice for servers and can simplify time management, especially in multi-timezone environments.
+
+### Refactored Section for Setting Timezone to UTC
+
+```bash
+ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
+hwclock --systohc
+```
+
+### Updated Step-by-Step Guide with UTC Timezone
+
+#### Step 6: Set Locale and Timezone
+1. **Set locale**:
+   - Edit `/etc/locale.gen` to uncomment your locale (e.g., `en_US.UTF-8`):
+     ```bash
+     vim /etc/locale.gen
+     ```
+   - Generate the locale:
+     ```bash
+     locale-gen
+     ```
+
+2. **Set timezone to UTC**:
+   ```bash
+   ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
+   hwclock --systohc
+   ```
+
+This change ensures that your system uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the timezone. This is particularly useful for servers and systems that need to interact with other systems across different timezones.
