The forums are the appropriate place for these kinds of questions, not 
the development mailing list.

NTP is not timezone aware, it's merely seconds from epoch which your OS 
interprets into the localtime. If you have tzdata2006p installed you 
should be fine.


Be aware that certain things like PHP 5, Mysql, Java JVMs have their own 
internal timezone data in some cases. Recent version of all should be 
fine unless in the case of Mysql you were using named timezones and 
never updated the internal tzdata from an older install. Under *nix 
Mysql uses SYSTEM as the time zone normally so you'd have to have gone 
out of your way to use a named timezone and load tzdata.
