GMT+0X TImezone

[Yohan]

Hi all,

Where : Windows 2000 ; open the date/time box (double
click on the icon on the right of the toolsbar) and select
the Timezone Tab.

Question : Why is there different timezone with the same
+0X value?

Exemple : Why is there 5 GMT+02 ?

What is the difference between these five GMT? What is the
date/time impact on my server?

Where can I find full explanation about that? Google is my
friend but I couldn't find anything relevant until now.

Thanks for your attention.

What is the difference between these five GMT?

At a guess, they go to daylight savings time on different dates.

i do believe it has to do with the timings of daylight saving etc.
some countries have no daylight saving (put clocks forward in spring and
back in autumn), and others have it at different times, so it is to
differentiate between them.
