Peter, Canek, how did you approach syslogs? systemd brings its own journal (readable via systemd-journalctl, learned right now) and so it possible to run the box without syslog-ng or similar. archlinux-wiki tells me how to combine things: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Systemd_Journal but I wonder what your solutions/opinions are so far ... Thanks, Stefan
