I have found under Linux that I can change the time using the date command, but when I reboot the machine the time is wrong again. &nbsp;It appears that for some reason Linux isn't actually changing the system clock. &nbsp;I'm not really sure what's going on with it. &nbsp;This problem doesn't occur with Windows NT. &nbsp;I can set the system clock just fine with NT and after a reboot the time will still be correct. <br />

What am I doing wrong (other than occassionally using NT)?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Setting the system clock

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
