Timezone missing

Hi Guys,

 

Can someone tell me why when using linux, you would not use the timezones that are available in Linux?

 

I live in a timezone that doesn't follow daylight saving time.  So on all my devices I can choose the timezone I belong to (Saskatchewan), in linux I use America/Regina.  Given that we are not the only location in North America that doesn't follow daylight saving time, it woud be great if I wouldn't have to change my timezones twice a year to have the right time on my device.

 

Now if we want to start the holy war... I think Daylight Saving time is crap too! :)

 

Thanks!

 

Chris

    Perhaps an option to disable daylight savings time, and maybe an option to manually set the offset from GMT?

     

    You should post this suggestion in the idea exchange, otherwise Netgear development will likely miss it.

      I agree... but no option to get rid of DST.

        That's why I suggested posting this in the idea exchange.
