At the risk of being a pedant.  I find the text of the paragraph that
begins:

In Debian releases between Etch and Jessie,

in the Check Configured Timezone section to be potentially confusing.
To me the word "between" often means a range that is exclusive of its
end points, e.g. "between the lines".

Would this be better worded as:

In Debian releases beginning with Etch and ending with Jessie,

or would:

In Debian releases between Etch and Jessie (inclusive),

be good enough?
