[F]or me, (3)
half the other clocks in the house _are_ computers,
which _do_ get it right without manual intervention - and on which I
can install new DST rules whenever I want.
Heh. My problem is that a lot of the
computers are set up to
multi-boot, and *each* OS wants to be in charge of resetting the
battery clock, so you get another hour each time you switch OSes.
NTP is your friend. Turn on ntpdate at boot, and start ntpd with -g
(or whatever the equivalents are for your OSes), and you should be
fine. Or just tell all of them that the hardware clock is to be kept
in UTC - of course, that assumes they're all non-broken enouigh to be
capable of being told that....
