You mean the BIOS shows the correct *local* time? In case you don't run 
Windows on the same machine you should set it to UTC and let Debian 
handle the time difference. Just make sure you have the right time zone 
by running 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'. Otherwise you should tell it that 
your clock is set to local time (via /etc/default/rcS).
