I administer a Sun network and one Linux box at work, both of which are isolated from the world ( I have to hand carry in patches, etc. ) So the upcoming DST rule change may be a problem. I'm sure you are aware that next March, DST starts on, IIRC, Mar. 11, and ends the first weekend in November. What's the best way to deal with the changes? (at home I have Ubuntu and Mac OS X )

I'm anything but a DST expert, but don't all OS distros come with current info about switches to/from DST worldwide? I didn't know about the change you are referring to, maybe because I live in Sweden and those dates vary between countries, but if there was a late decision in your country, isn't there simply a patch for each OS available?

Hopefully somebody is able to give you a more authoritative comment. :)
