It will not properly set my time for the Eastern standard time. Any ideas on what I can do? I am running KDE

The timezone section of explains the procedure: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7

Replace '/usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT' with '/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern'.

You'll also need to set the clock to the current time. Type 'man date' in a terminal for details or run '/etc/init.d/ntp-client restart' as root if you have an internet connection.
