No need for the admin to create any scripts and/or cron jobs, each user
can easily have her own timezone (useful for remote logins), timestamps
are always correct,  if you travel with the machine you can set your
timezone appropriately with trivial ease...

It just works as installed.  No configuration other than answering the
question about the default timezone.
