I install a Sabayon distribution and now I have a small problem. I can't configure the clock. I change the timezone, but nothing. Help me please... PS: Sorry my english, but is the best that I can do.

Open your console and find your correct timezone file. It should be in /usr/share/zoneinfo. In my case its this file '/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix'. Then just copy that file to /etc/localtime cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /usr/share/zoneinfo That should be all it takes to change it.
