If you have selected a time zone where DST happens (such as any North
American time zone, except a few here and there, like Eire, Indiana),
it is set up automagically -- it is not something you turn on or off.
The few places that don't observe DST have their own special time
zones. If your machine runs *only* Linux (it not a dual boot
Linux/MS-Windows), you can set the hardware clock to Universal Standard
Time, and you won't have to worry about random 1 hour clock drift due
to a crash/reboot across a DST boundary.
