MS systems store time as local. Normally, Linux installs default to GMT -
if your time is off by 5,6,7 hours or something like that, depending on
where you live, then that is the problem. All you need to do in that case
is adjust your Linux install to use local time.

It's amazing how many computer problems disappear if you follow that one
simple rule: don't boot Windows.

... or use the other definition of the verb, 'to boot' instead ?
