I've just had some fun here when the dopey pollies implemented DST on
about two weeks notice (counting from when the legislation past). I
don't know about SUSE; RH got the update out in RHEL4, Debian in Sid.
I installed Sid's tzdata on all Debian, RHEL4 (or Centos) on everything
RH-like.
Just for fun, I copied /etc/localtime from a Linux system (IA32) to my
Powerbook (OS X, PPC) where it works fine.
Note, a reboot after changing tzdata is probably a good idea -
long-running daemons seem to take note of the time when they start and
keep using the TZ setting for ever. I found cron jobs running at the
Wrong Time,
Note, I said _after changing tzdata_. I don't know about changes to/from
DST require a reboot. In my case, the two events were close together; I
had to reboot at change of DST but wouldn't have but for the new tzdata.
And finally, KDE sorted itself out when I used the clock applet to
change to a different timezone then back.

Good day all,
Have been asked to look for possible problems when the current time
here changes in the US for the new daylight savings times.
Am now running SLES 9 SP3 and don't see any issues.
Any info would be helpful?
