+    <para>
+      A number of files in <filename>/etc/sysconfig</filename> have been depricated. These changes should be transparent to most applications.
+    </para>
+    <section>
+      <title><filename>/etc/sysconfig/clock</filename> replaced by <filename>/etc/localtime</filename></title>
+      <para>
+        The time zone is now configured by creating an appropriate <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> symlink to the relevant timezone.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        To list available timezone run the following command:
+        <screen><command>timedatectl list-timezone</command></screen>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        To set timezone run the following command:
+        <screen><command>timedatectl set-timezone <replaceable>Atlantic/Reykjavik</replaceable></command></screen>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        Systemd uses UTC for the hardware clock by default, but some systems are configured for local time. Users can verify that setting in their <application>BIOS</application>. To set the system clock directly run this command, using the current time and date:
+        <screen><command>set-time <replaceable>"2012-10-27 01:02:03"</replaceable></command></screen>
+        To set the clock to use local time instead of UTC, use the command
+        <screen><command>timedatectl set-local-rtc 1</command></screen>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        For more informatino on how <application>systemd</application> deals with time, see <command>man timedatectl</command> and <command>man localtime</command>.

+      <para>
+        Environment variables and configuration directives now belong in <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename>. The locale settings configured here are system wide and inherited by every service or user, unless overridden or unset by individual programs or users.

+     <para>
+       There are now three seperate classes of hostnames in use on a given system. The <emphasis>pretty</emphasis> hostname is the high level hostname often presented to users by their desktop environment or shell. The <emphasis>static</emphasis> hostname is used by the kernel at boot, and is usually the system's <literal>fully qualified domain name</literal>. A system may also have a <emphasis>transient</emphasis> hostname assigned by a dhcp server. <application>hostnamectl</application> is provided for administering these hostnames:
