Yeah, your local clock is off. If you dual boot with windows then the
hardware clock should be local time (IIRC).

A common mistake is that people have the UNIX time set to thier local
timezone, not GMT/UTC. Your UNIX clock (cant remeber the right term)
should be GMT/UTC and you should set your timezone ot get local time in
apps.

You can check by running date, it should show the right time and your
timezone, eg for me:
$ date ; date -u
Wed May  7 08:53:13 BST 2003
Wed May  7 07:53:13 UTC 2003

date -u shows UTC time.

You distribution should provide tools for setting the timezone and
stuff.
