I'm not sure about Ubuntu, at least in Debian tzselect doesn't change time zone 
permanently. For this purpose "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" should be used.

Hi,

As has been said before, the Debian/Ubuntu/etc way to do this is to use 
tzselect.

Copying/linking the desired zone file to /etc/localtime will make it change for 
the timebeing, but you also need to make sure that /etc/timezone contains the 
correct timezone specification otherwise your timezone will change when you 
upgrade.  tzselect takes care of all this.

Geoff.
