Forget for a moment the fact that one should not override an RPM package with files from a tarball :-) but look at this article:
http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS6300294422.html
It seems like the author assumes that /etc/localtime is already a symlink. Otherwise what would be the point in recommending to update tzdata but don't do anything about /etc/localtime?
So probably the article (posted on Slashdot, no less) is wrong from the perspective of a Red Hat / CentOS user on two counts: - the tzdata update method is bad - /etc/localtime is not a symlink on RHEL/CentOS so the method is incomplete
