You might have noticed that VirtualBSD defaults to the CET/MET timezone and you probably want to change it to something more appropriate for you. Here's how:
1) Open a terminal (right click anywhere on the desktop and select Terminal from the menu).
2) Since you can't "sudo everything" in VirtualBSD, you need to become root. Type:
su -
and type the password (root4u) when prompted to do so.
3) Now that you are the superuser type:
tzsetup
4) This is a semi-graphical user interface, which means you can't use the mouse but are supposed to navigate the menus using the arrow keys and accept selections pressing ENTER instead.
Follow the instructions in the following screenshots and once you're done and back at the prompt, verify that the timezone looks right:
VirtualBSD# date
Sun Mar 15 01:06:33 JST 2009
Note: You will have to restart any running application for the modification to have any effect, and logging out and back in to start a new session will do the trick nicely.
