Quick Tip: Setting time zone on Ubuntu Hardy
I’ve been pretty enamored with SliceHost recently. They make it very easy to setup a slice, configure it and get your product deployed quickly (I’m down to 30 min). I hadn’t noticed until just recently that I’ve never set a time zone on any slice I’ve configured. So, here’s how you do it, simple and easy.
- SSH into your slice
- Run this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata - Select your geographic area and location
That’s it, hope it helps!
If you want your own slice, consider using my Slicehost referral link. Thanks!

That is SO much easier than the way I had to configure it last time. It took forever to setup my timezones on my last slice.
Thanks.
