Please consider using a less confrontational style for posting questions in the future. Now, regarding the timezone question: You can use the `Orage Clock'. It is bundled with the current XFCE4 in the FreeBSD Ports, and its startup options include one that sets the clock timezone. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
