Not sure what Linux has to do with this -- there's far more going on (with dates and times especially) in a complex stack of software than just the OS. Consider the amount of legacy software and multi-system integration involved in a bank's computing environment. Sorry dudes, but this just sounds like Open Source snootiness from the small end of town. Seriously, just look at half the MySQL-based Open Source applications around you... Example: WordPress only gained automagically updating named timezones (rather than manual offsets) in 2.7 or 2.8. Fat load of good "Linux" [1] did in that case. - Jeff [1] It's not like you're talking about the Linux kernel here, either. -- The Great Australian Internet Blackout http://www.internetblackout.com.au/ I wonder how many bugs have gone unfixed due to misspellings of "FIXME". -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
