Wow! im confused. This is probably a simple on so please email me off the list, if you care to help my sad self ; >

I've checked out the faq's about /etc/localtime being linked to /usr/share/...... something or other. When I vi-ed these files I got tons of garbage. 

I checked all of the rc stuff as well as some other files. 

I was able to do a: TZ=EST date    but that only works for that terminal session.

So where do I set the timezone variable? I know its somewhere I'm probably over looking. thanks!
