When installing Ubuntu on any machine connected to the internet in North Idaho (the panhandle north of the Salmon river), the time zone is erroneously detected as being in Mountain time.
I believe this bug stems from the idea that the entire state of Idaho is in Mountain time, however, it is in Pacific time. The Salmon river is used to divide time zones in Idaho as it spans from the crest of the Bitterroot mountains at the Idaho/Montana border to the Snake River at the Idaho/Oregon border.
This includes all cities north of the Salmon river in Idaho such as Moscow (home to the University of Idaho), Lewiston, Orofino, Coeur d'Alene, Grangeville, Sandpoint, and Bonners Ferry.
I realize that the location is being detected via IP, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement this separation.

When installing Ubuntu on any machine connected to the internet in North Idaho (the panhandle north of the Salmon river), the time zone is erroneously detected as being in Mountain time.
I believe this bug stems from the idea that the entire state of Idaho, and indeed the most popular portion, is in Mountain time. However, the Northern panhandle is in Pacific time. The Salmon river is used to divide time zones in Idaho as it spans from the crest of the Bitterroot mountains at the Idaho/Montana border to the Snake River at the Idaho/Oregon border.
