Your Linux system probably is under the mistaken impression that the BIOS system clock is in UTC/GMT. However, Windblows actually changes the BIOS clock to match localtime. Possibly look at /etc/default/rcS for the line that says: UTC=yes Maybe look at /usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.Debian.hwclock for more info (and man hwclock). -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
