Thanks to all who responded. Here's one of the clear exlanations I recieved (thanks to Darren Dunham): -- The timezone patch covers all the normal timezones. The libc patch is for POSIX timezones (like EST5EDT) which are calculated on the fly by libc rather than being looked up in a reference file. The date for the DST transitions is hardcoded there. If you are sure that you don't use POSIX timezones, you may not need the libc patch. -- Basically, if I don't know what applications might need to use POSIX timezones, I'm better off installing both patches. Thanks!
