Thanks Andy thats the same as
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB  /etc/localtime
if I am not wrong.

I want to keep the GMT
Wed Aug 10 23:35:21 GMT 2005
but just adjust DST.
GB stands for Great Britain?

I noticed GMT0 GMT+1 GMT-0
in /usr/share/zoneinfo but I can not
find anything in the manuals explaining what
these are and do.

Any help further?
