Since I've been up to my eyeballs in Microsoft DST issues at work, I thought I'd take a breather and make sure that my Linux servers were okay with the upcoming change. I was pleased to note that my oldest server (running FC2) was fine.
As a fallback position, you can add this line to /etc/environment:
TZ=CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
that defines the current ruleset. I researched this right after the law was passed, and since have been trying to get the powers that be at my company to adopt this as the solution for Unices without easy updates (for SCO and HP-UX, it's /etc/TIMEZONE, but the TZ syntax is the same).
