    I have a problem with European distributions. First time it happened was with Mint in 2008, and I never solved it. My clocks get reset every boot, usually 5 hours before current local time — usually, not always. Well, it’s happening again with antiX, even though I selected the correct time zone (-5 GMT/NYC) in the initial setup. It may stay correct for a while, but next time I use another distro, the clocks will go haywire again. As I recall, Mint was messing with my hardware clock, and that is why I dropped Mint. Maybe the problem was Windows, which I used until around 2010. But I haven’t used Windows for 12 years. XP was the last Windows I used, never really messed with Windows 7. My first Linux distro was Austrumi, mostly because it was downloadable at 50 MB. Mandrake was the first Linux distro I connected to the internet, on dialup, at a time when ethernet was becoming widely adopted. Honestly, I deserve a medal for that, getting Mandrake to do dialup. (maybe not)

    EDIT: Yep, other distro’s clock is reading (reset) 4 hours ahead of current time (Daylight Saving Time).
