Dear fedora users,

I have a quick question about DST(Daylight Savings Time), I know that in the US, we will change the time Spring forward,  Fall back

http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b2.html

I am running Fedora 9 x86_64 at home

[olivares at localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 24 19:44:45 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[olivares at localhost ~]$ 

My concern is that the clock will be moved forward one hour, will it happen by itself in Fedora or do I need to update a package like tzdata?

I don't update everything because I am on dialup and only update the kernel mostly.  Maybe I will learn if this was changed automatically in the morning, but I do need to make sure I don't fall asleep when I need to head to work on Monday :)  

Thank you in Advance,

Antonio
