Q. I have an Asus eee 900a running tiny xp on the ssd and crunchbang linux on the SD card. Sometimes when I boot into windows it changes the clock making it incorrect. I change it but it eventually changes itself back again. Why is it doing this?
A. The convention under windows is that the computer's real-time clock maintains local time. Under UNIX and Linux, the convention is that the real-time clock maintains Greenwich Mean Time. So when you switch back and forth, it's common that your clock is off by your offset from GMT under one of the OSes. The way you can avoid this problem is to tell your Linux system that you want the RTC to maintain local time rather than GMT, just like the Windows convention.
In your distro of Linux, you would edit /etc/rc.conf, and set
HARDWARECLOCK" = "localtime"
rather than
HARDWARECLOCK" = "UTC"
Your Linux system is probably using NTP to sync the time, so even though it is a few hours off right after you boot, it gets the correct time a little while later. However, it is always off when you boot.

On crunchbang Linux everything is incredibly small and I can't see a thing. Is there any fix?
Q. I'm unable to do anything with my crunchbang. Please help.
A. Most solutions require that you are able to see a menu item or open a terminal and type a command since you cannot see ANYTHING the only solution is to reinstall it and be aware of any options for font size and video formats when you do.
Good luck
