Set the Time Zone

• When setting the time zone of your server, it may
  be best to use the time zone of the majority of
  your users. If youre not sure which time zone
  would be best, consider using Universal
  Coordinated Time or UTC (i.e., Greenwich Mean
  Time).
• By default, Linodes are set to UTC. Many
  operating systems provide built-in, interactive
  methods for changing time zones
• Set the Time Zone in Debian or Ubuntu
• Issue the following command and answer the
  questions as prompted on the screen
• dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Configure the /etc/hosts File

• The /etc/hosts file provides a list of IP
  addresses with corresponding hostnames. This
  allows you to specify hostnames for an IP address
  in one place on the local machine, and then have
  multiple applications connect to external
  resources via their hostnames. The system of host
  files precedes DNS, and hosts files are always
  checked before DNS is queried. As a result,
  /etc/hosts can be useful for maintaining small
  internal networks, for development purposes,
  and for managing clusters.
• Some applications require that the machine
  properly identify itself in the /etc/hosts file.
  As a result, we recommend configuring the
  /etc/hosts file shortly after deployment. Here is
  an example file
