While a linux computer is nice to have, it is not necessary. There are 
several other ways:

* Use the phone itself. Run the "terminal" program and use the tiny
   on-screen keyboard. You can do anything, but that keyboard
   is perhaps too small for doing much. Setting the time should
   be ok.

* Use the phone itself and the "terminal" program, and a real
   keyboard. The keyboard can connect via usb or bluetooth. This
   require some configuration first.

* Use a computer that don't run linux.
