After Linux boots, the system clock runs without input from the CMOS
clock. Probably during "suspend" the system clock stops, and restarts
when coming out of suspend mode.
Then, since the Debian startup/shutdown scripts do the clock --systohc
upon shutdown, the "wrong" time gets put in CMOS and

Hi Sean,
so the questions seems: "where to start?"
I think we shouldn't make things to complex in the beginning:

The gain from the mobile update daemon is rather small. However a nice thing i
have recently discovered is that mounting a disc w/ 'noatime' as an option
decreases disc spin ups because the disc is no longer written to on every file
access. Who uses atime on a laptop anyway.
