Ok guys, I've asked this before, but I try again. I upgraded to libc6 in potato and it hosed my JDK and a few other thing I use, so I downgraded to libc6 from slink.
Then my time got screwed. I reinstalled timezones and set the date a time and everything seemed fine. Except that when I need to reboot, the time gets hosed again!!! Simple solution don't reboot!!! But, I have kids and a wife and they still like Windows dispite all attempts and destroying it (damn games). Anyway, does anyone have a clue. Thanks Rod....
