The first UNIX I worked with was on a PDP-11 in 1978, and it could handle
the clock change automatically, as long as the change happened on the
"proper" day. (There was one year it didn't.)
I've always found it bizarre that everyone else is still having trouble
with it. My Windows boxen sync their clocks via an add-on NTP client, but
they always get confused when Windows AND the NTP
client try to correct the clocks at the same time.
Remember, zLinux doesn't sync to the system clock except at IPL time. I
recommend NTP.
