I have a similar problem with Fedora 14. It displays time different from
the Ubuntu installation on another drive.
Fedora is showing 3 min past midnight and Ubuntu before reboot to Fedora
showed 2 minutes past 10 am same day.
neither use UTC and it's only happened since installing Fedora 14.
 It has  me puzzled.
