Should Ubuntu Add Seattle As A Timezone?

[emanuel.b]

Hey, I live in Washington state, and I'm tired of setting Los Angles as my timezone. (Because I want to stay as far away from Vancouver as possible.) But should Ubuntu really add Seattle as a time zone? (Portland wouldn't hurt either.)

Why don't they just say US Pacific (Standard or Daylight Savings) Time???

YES! I remember the first time I used ubuntu, I picked Vancouver because it had the same time as mine (I live in Spokane, WA), and I kept getting slow download speeds because I was downloading from the canadian servers.

At which point you should of changed your sources.list...

But hey we're obviously well past those obvious mistakes ?

Are you sure thats because of the time zone you chose?

I'm not saying I know any different, because I don't, but perhaps the Canadian servers were the closest to your location...

I wouldn't imagine servers recognize mans borders.. And Spokane is not that far from Canada...

But I could totally be wrong about that. I hope someone that does know what they are talking about chimes in though. Now I'm curious.

They should add Minneapolis, too. I have to always set to Chicago. The next closest city is in Canada.

[edit] actually, if they added the capital city from each state/province/what-have-you, it would be cool.
