Your hardware clock is probably set to UTC (GMT). If you are not dual booting with Windows, this is a good thing to do. It makes a number of things easier when dealing with computers in several times zones, e.g., using rsync to keep a shared file or directory in sync between your laptop and your desktop.
HTH, Jeffrey
So are you suggesting that I set the OS clock to the correct time and forget about what the hardware clock says? That's easy enough. Dwain -- Dwain Alford P.O.
