[SlugLUG] Daylight Savings Time

[Peter Belew]

If you haven't noticed, Daylight Savings Time starts early and ends
late this year - starting on March 11.

Linux users should have already had an update which fixes this (via
your distro's favorite update program). To test it, do

  date -d '27 March'

You should see

  Tue Mar 27 00:00:00 PDT 2007

If you see 'PST', you should update your system.

(I already posted this on the SMAUG list)

Actually Daylight Savings time begins at this time:

date -d 'March 11 03:00:00'
Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 PDT 2007

Times between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 are invalid on that date - as soon
as the time increments to 2 AM, it "springs forward" to 3 AM.

MS Windows updates will have fixed this recently, too.
