If you've kept your system updated it should already be there. Here is
how to check:

#Code
$ cat /etc/timezone

I am on the left coast of the US so my results are:
$ cat /etc/timezone
America/Los_Angeles

Now I want to check to see if my system will change in March vs April:

#Code
 zdump -v America/Los_Angeles | grep 2007

[Note: change the "America/Los_Angeles" part to your results from the
"cat /etc/timezone"]

My results from the zdump are:

~$ zdump -v America/Los_Angeles | grep 2007
America/Los_Angeles  Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59
2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
America/Los_Angeles  Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00
2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
America/Los_Angeles  Sun Nov  4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59
2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
America/Los_Angeles  Sun Nov  4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00
2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800

So, you can see that my clocks will correctly change on Sunday March
11th and back on Sunday November 4th. If you get incorrect results for
your timezone, then you'll need to update your tzdata packages.
