In short, the feds extended daylight savings time 4 weeks starting in 2007. It's gonna start on March 11 instead of April 1. So we have to update every device in the country that keeps track of time, haha. My Kubuntu desktop looks good, but i apt-get occassionally. Our RHEL3/4 boxes should be ok as there is an official RedHat fix. Haven't looked at the RHEL2.1 box yet. I have a few Fedora Core 2 boxes around too, but the latest tzdata RPM from fedoralegacy.org seemes to be updated. But i would go out and snag a copy now! Looks like fedoralegacy officially shutdown on Wednesday. Time to convert those boxes to CentOS hehe. ray On Fri, 9 Feb 2007, Eric Ortego wrote: > On 2/9/07, Dustin Puryear <dustin at puryear-it.com> wrote: >> So the changes to Daylight Savings Time (DST) comes into play Real >> Soon Now, right?
