	I really believe what's going on here, is just a lack of understanding on my
	part. 

	If I type "date" without seting TZ, I get UTC time, but it says EST. If I
	remove /etc/localtime, I get the correct tme, but it says it's UTC. 

	So, I must still have somthing configure incorectly.

	Is there any documentation on this?
