Hi,

I actually run a debian etch on my computer. I just run `date` on this
computer and i don't understand what is displayed.  I live in France
and the timezone is (as my knowledge) gmt/utc +01:00. When i run `date
`on my computer it shows me :
             Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:22:56 +0200
UTC +0200 ?! whats wrong ? I look into /etc/timezone and the timezone
is set on Europe/paris. The file /etc/timezone is the same as
/usr/share/zone/Europe/Paris...


You're currently in daylight saving time. Britain is on GMT+0100, most od Western Europe on GMT+0200.
