My new install of Debian 4.0 seems to have the wrong time, it says right now:

Why isn't it EDT?
How can I set this? I want it set once and for all so even after
server reboot it shall still be correct.
Thanks,

Is you your local time correctly set? Furthermore you can use ntp.
And ntpdate at boot-up. Ansgar's suggestion regarding tzdata is
also important.
Also, look in/etc/default/rcS for the UTC line. Mine is "yes", but
because the TZ is set correctly, dates display as the correct local
time.
