RHEL 4 ?!?!  seriously!  That is way too old :P

P.S. I am joking, my Fedora 14 is stuck here with the same stupid DST. I
haven't slept in the past 48 hours except for 3 hours, wish I could have
compiled the new 2011g tzdata on my own. May be on Saturday ISA, till Fedora
inserts the update ba2a..

Nighty list :)
