Time, Time Zone and the total mess...

<content type="xhtml" xml:base="http://www.herzi.eu/">
So, I realized that in my toy app all times where off by two hours. I thought &#xBB;Ha, that's easy.&#xAB; and now I'm officially surrendering.

I created a quite simple testcase, and even that one tries to tell me that these times are the same:

2009-05-07 12:00:00 +0000
2009-05-07 13:00:00 +0200


So, until now I thought "+0200" means &#xBB;two hours ahead of UTC&#xAB;. Why is it supposed to be one nowadays?

So now my questions: Is this Ubuntu Hardy, I'm using here, a total mess? Do I do something wrong? Doesn't this work at all? Why does it keep trying to pretend that these times are the same?
