The System log is called 'system.log'

You will see other files there: system.log.N.bz2, those are compressed  
earlier log entires that are managed by the system (one of those  
nightly scripts rotates them all to a higher number then creates a new  
system.log.0.bz2 file.)

Each of those files contains all the system log entries between the  
time the previous one was created and their own creation date.
