My hubby is using linux, c++, or whatever their latest coding is, and he said it's going to be a huge kernel problem just to fix everything on all their machines. He works with time sensitive, real time data. On all the bulletin boards he frequents, many are expressing headaches.

Absolutely. Not to mention embedded systems, where the code is in the chip.

I'll repeat my initial comment regarding the Congress on this issue: MORONS!

Unless the systems he's using have a particular reason to make use of local time, the clocks on Linux systems running control processes and whatnot should be using UTC. IMO, any production system should use UTC. It'll be a pain to change the programs that deal with user-space time, but it shouldn't be that bad for most production applications.
