Switch Your Linux Systems to the New DST

penguin imgYou probably already updated your Windows system to the new DST 2007. How do you do this for your Linux system? I came across this how to at Linux-Watch.com:

"To make sure your Linux system knows when DST is, this year and ever on, you need to update your zoneinfo file, or replace it with one that contains the new rules. [...] If you've been keeping your system updated, most modern Linuxes will have automatically updated your computer with the correct DST information. If you haven't updated your computer for a while with the latest patches, do it now." [Linux-Watch - Switching your Linux systems to the new DST]

After updating your Linux system with the latest patches, you can verify if you indeed have the right DST 2007 settings by using the zdump command.
