Hi,  
I’m wondering if anybody’s running Linux here. I have an application that uses the Date object to get the current date and time, but it’s an hour behind - meaning it’s not registering daylight savings time. Linux itself is showing the correct time, and so is Java, but Flash isn’t.

If you have linux and flash player 9 installed (and live in the US), would you mind checking this for me?

I’ve attached a simple fla file that displays the time, so you don’t have to do any work.

Thanks
