Help with dumb question

[Joe Zeff]

I'm at a convention in DC now, and I don't remember how to set my 
laptop's timezone.

Excellent!  I knew it was easy, but it's been long enough that I didn't 
remember how.  Will hang on to this for when I get home to Trinidad, CO 
and need to set it back.

There are no "dumb" questions.  If you are using gnome, there is a
"Date & Time" entry in the Settings App  (on my system it is at the very
bottom of the list, maybe because it is rarely needed)

Thanx, but I use Xfce, not Gnome and prefer to do things like that from 
the command line because they're DE neutral.
