How does Linux store time?

How does Linux store time?  I've heard it's a 32bit number from 1970.
Is the date stored in miliseconds? seconds?

All Unices store time as the number of seconds since
January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

This means there will be a problem sometime around
Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 GMT.

1. Anyone done business with "The Linux Store"

I'm looking to buy a new Linux Laptop computer.  The N-Flux machine
offered by The Linux Store seems an amazing buy.  (For details
see http://www.thelinuxstore.com/)  They seem to be $500 cheaper
than any of the major brands.

This makes me suspicious.  Things that seem too good to be true
usually are.  Is The Linux Store a reputable firm?  Why is it that
they can offer a $500 discount over all other retailers?  Does
anybody have any dirt on this company?


summarize after a few days.
