microsoft doesnt allow you to easily override Perths daylight saving
value because we dont have it! Will windows update catch up? I notice
gentoo regularly updates their TZ stuff, so when (if) this goes through
I think a swag of bugs on the relevant distros might be in order to make
sure linux stays on the ball.

Kai,
That's an even better idea!
Businesses can just change their opening and closing or prime times
accordingly and firms will stop calling me at 6am because they think
Perth is on Sydney time.

Heh..... Amen to that, I get calls at all times of day, one of the
"joys" of looking after computer systems for a large franchise, and
being on call all the time :) Ah well.. its all about the love of the
