I just installed Debian (Wheezy) on a Windows XP machine and am dual booting. But the clock is different! It's one hour late on XP versus Debian.

I'm in Paris (GMT +1) and we're in winter (daylight saving time).

I believe I set the time correctly in Debian but I'm not sure. Is it possible that Windows detects the daylight savings time and not Debian?

How to set it correctly so that I don't need to change the clock every time I change OSses?

I believe the problem is that Debian actually changes system lock to UTC and then adjust its display the user desired timezone. XP on the other hand changes system lock to your desired timezone.

Take a look at this answer for info how to change your Debian timezone Changing timezone on Debian keeps Local Time in UTC
