So it's possible the timezone was set correctly, but the pref dialog somehow got messed up.

I just tried and failed. I chose English, American English, and Israel for language, keyboard and timezone. On reboot, 'date' tells me that it's 17:36 IDT. By my count, it's 14:36 UTC. Looks like it works the way it's supposed to work.

Actually, I couldn't since I already set the timezone.

... however, after having set it - it's still not a symlink, it's a plain text file. It now contains Asia/Jerusalem.

That's not the point of this report. The point is that there's a bug with the distribution (or one of the packages) which causes this to happen. It should be fixed _in the distribution_; I can take care of my own system.

After initial login, in Cinnamon's Preferences | Date & Time, no region and location were selected for a timezone - despite my having selected Asia/Jerusalem during installation (at least, I'm 95% sure I had selected them).

(Next post in the series: Issue #11)
