I also had this problem and after some time I found out (I am using WinXP) that there is a service in Windows that automatically connects to a time server and syncs the clock. After disabling this and setting the time in the BIOS to UTC everything went fine and still is. The only thing is that my Windows time is now one hour behind (winter time) but as I hardly ever use it it doesn't really bother me. I think why it doesn't happen with other linux distros is that they sometimes assume that they are running next to Windows (most of them even ask at setup) an will take the time from the BIOS being set to localtime (as Windows does). I still cannot understand the lags of less than an hour but maybe that's got something to do with /etc/adjtime and the time adjustment by Windows. HTH, Jan
