[olug] Linux DST

[Jon Larsen]

I can confirm this to work on Red Hat 6.2 (including an old Cobalt Qube3 
using RH6).  I used a similar set of instructions on a couple old boxes 
I admin.  Should work on RH 7-9, FC 1-4 (fedoralegacy used to support 
those distros until it shutdown).

It will not work on Red Hat 4.2 systems (yep, I work on one RH4 non-EL 
legacy system)

Thanks Brian for the tip!
