[mythtv-users] Daylight Savings Time, NTP, and reboot

Well here is what I have found:

Linux does adjust automatically, even if you are set to "local".

Actually looking at mythweb for sunday morning, it looks like my program 
guide decides to just skip 2 oclock all together as though it already 
accounts for the fact that we switch to DST:

 01:45 AM<http://localhost/mythweb/program_listing.php?time=1112510700#anchor1>
03:00
AM <http://localhost/mythweb/program_listing.php?time=1112511600#anchor1> 
 

I have no recordings ending right at 3 anyway, so I'm not too worried.
