If you are living in Pakistan and haven’t changed your computer clock yet, you can update the zone info and have your computer automatically change it’s time (both tonight and at the end of DST).

For more information click on your operating system: Microsoft Windows or Linux (unix, bsd, solaris).

Update: Corrected the link for linux, which reflects the DST changes in Pakistan, that is, DST will continue till October 31st, instead of August 31st.

It is aimed at Windows users coming to Linux, and would help them set their expectations. If you have never understood why people like Linux so much, or had trouble explaining why you like it, then go ahead and read it.
