NO. What you have to do is go to that nist site, download the latest tzdata
file
tzdata2008c.tar.gz
to your Linux machine
untar it
tar -xzf tzdata2008c.tar.gz
zic asia
rm /etc/localtime
cp /usr/share/zoninfo/Asia/Karachi /etc/localtime
And you are done.
You can copy that same file to your other Linux ( and probably unix)
machines as well, and you are done.
On Windows follow Moe's suggestion.
