Well, I wonder if there's a Debian Policy about this. I mean here I
am using the Debian system and people think I am in the USA. Oh,
Debian assumes everybody lives in the USA, folks might think. Ok,
true, who's to say who the rightful owner of CST is.

Well thanks Vince. Anybody have some constructive recommendations?
How can I just make my machine call my timezone "+0800"?
1. I don't want to perform open heart surgery on my machine to do
this. It must not be anymore deeper than "apt-get install gawk;
apt-get remove mawk"
2. will it break anything if my timezone now isn't 3 letters?
