I was about to report a bug about the time going haywire as well, but I *think* the problem described in this bugreport is identical to my problem.

Previous releases of Ubuntu didn't have the Ubiquity Live CD installer. Those installers used to ask me a question about whether the time was set to local time or GMT (if I recall correctly). My most recent Ubuntu install was done with a recent Ubuntu Flight of Dapper, with the Ubiquity Live CD installer. The Ubiquity installer does not ask the question.

My timezone is set to Europe/Amsterdam, my time zone is GMT + 02:00 (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/european-union/the-netherlands/time.htm). However, my clock is displaying GMT + 04:00. Maybe Ubuntu thinks my time zone is GMT, and adds another 02:00 to it for some reason? That's my suspicion, I have no idea.

My Windows XP install - I have a dual boot - is also affected, and is displaying the incorrect time as well.
