Oo er - even worse than the Western Australian govt. We had more than 
three days.

Presumably El Pres will figure it's not quite so easy when Windows 
doesn't get updated:-)

As an emergency measure, you can do what I did last year - copy the file 
(or the file the link points to if it's a symlink) /etc/localtime around 
your systems.

It worked for me between Debian, SUSE and RH/Fedora systems and clones, 
and even to Mac OS X on G4 PowerPC.

Windows systems I coped with by turning them off.
