[brlug-general] DST changes and Linux

[Dustin Puryear]

No. The law changed the DAYS when DST begins and ends. So Linux will
think DST starts on day x when it now starts on day y. So for a period
of time the Linux server will show the incorrect local time (adjusted
for DST--this doesn't affect the true internal time, which is still
correct since its GMT).
