Daylight Savings Update Patches for Linux Distros

[phpwiki]
For those of you who don't know, Congress passed the Energy Policy Act in 2005 that changes the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) as of spring 2007. Linux distributions all over have been working on this because other countries have decided to change their daylight savings times as well! Well I've done a little bit of research to get everyone up to speed on this and I've compiled a list with websites to go to so you can update yourselves! I'm still researching so I will be updating this list periodically so check back! Side note: these sites I'm posting will lead you to where you officially need to go if what you need isn't already there!

As promised, an update! Thx jpr! :)

Java DST change support

Note: most of our clusters are using JDK 1.5.0_10 so they are fine. I updated the Java distribution on our shibboleth services for openidp.org and myvocs.org.
