Some systems are dumbed-down with drop-down menus listing cities like "Americas-Los Angeles" and similar. These will require a bit of work on the back end.
Unix and linux systems have a timezone database that has the historic time zones for everywhere they know about. The internal time format is always seconds since the beginning of 1970 UTC, and the libraries use the database to convert back and forth to display formats. Updating the timezone database is just like updating any other files in your computer. If you install the usual system updates, you'll be fine. R's, John
