* Open this URL in a Java-enabled web browser (like Firefox).
       http://www.time.gov
    * Run the date command to set the date to the time that is displayed in the browser:
      date -s "11/17/2007 09:36:30"
      to set the time to 09:36:30 on 01/17/2007. Obviously set the command to a slightly future time, wait for time.gov to catch up, then press Enter.

# /sbin/hwclock --adjust
# /sbin/hwclock --systohc

   * Right click on your clock in the taskbar (usually lower right of the screen) and select "Show timezone" / "Local timezone".
