 From the command line use the "date" utility.

%z     RFC-2822 style numeric timezone (-0500) (a nonstandard extension)
%Z     time zone (e.g., EDT), or nothing if no time zone is determinable

Or "system-config-date" will bring up the little GUI configurator.

I've always removed /etc/localtime and created a symbolic link to the 
timezone file of choice.

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
