As I understand, computers often have two possibilities for keeping time: They can get it from the bios/hardware, or the operating system can handle it itself. Look into using ntpd, which will keep your clock accurate by frequently syncing it with an atomic clock over the internet: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html Your problem may not be Linux specific at all-- there may be something about your hardware/bios/battery that is causing your time problems.
