>From the fact that you already found out by now that you have minus 2
hours (daylight savings time changes at 2:00am), you can probably
deduce that you shouldn't let your BIOS do that if you're running a
Unix-based system (or Windows NT or Windows 95, for that matter) on
that machine, or you'll get your time adjusted twice.
