I personally can't wait for the new DST rules to kick in. It gets dark (and cold) here in the Northeast early enough in the Fall, not to mention having more light in the evenings, especially in October. More light after supper earlier in the Spring will be wonderful to look forward to!

Solaris requires updates to ensure the change in the start/end dates for DST are correct. Here's a quick list of links to more publicly available information and (most) patches. Read on for more details:
