[Beowulf] New Daylight savings times rules and Linux OS updates?

[Brian D. Ropers-Huilman]

I was just presented with the answer to this question recently, so
it's on my mind.

You can use zdump -v on the /etc/localtime file, or wherever it points
and grep for 2007. If you see March and November, you're fine. Most
modern distributions are updated for this already. FC6 and FC5
specifically are fine. FC4 needs the tzdata-2005m-1.fc4 and FC3 needs
the tzdata-2005m-1.fc3 RPMs installed to be updated.

Google can help on this one too.
