I was worried this would only go until they get Windows to drop the time-ball http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timeball.htm and that would automatically set their system clock to local time... But reading the web site I notice that already has happened: "NB In summer it drops at 13:00 (1pm) BST or 12:00 (Noon) GMT." When we ran international VM systems in IBM, there really was no concept of local time so we ran the systems at GMT+0 which saved us the trouble of time zone changes too. Just had to remember that the maintenance windows for various applications changed along with the support group's DST schedule :-) Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
