Hi, please avoid sending HTML emails, since those are sometimes quite difficult to read in a text-only system. Thanks.

The command uname shows which kernel you use, but that has nothing to do with the timezone you're in. To check if youŕe up to date run dpkg -l libc6 and in the column called Version you should find something like 2.3.2.ds1 ..., e.g. 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4. If the number you see there is below 2.3.2, you should upgrade your system, if it is 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge1 or with a higher number at the end, you're fine. Regards -- hgb >
