While looking at the log file on my Raspberry Pi (running Fedora 20 Remix), I noticed that the date/time didn’t look right. EDT is a North American Eastern Daylight Time, which is 4 hours behind UTC.

I found the information here on how to do just that:...
Today while I was updating py27-m2crypto package on FreeBSD 10 using portmaster, the following error message was displayed: Shared object "libstdc++.so.6" not found, required by "swig" Fortunately, someone else has found the problem and solution before me.
