It may matter quite a bit, actually. I use metalog on my server/desktop and syslog-ng on my laptop. metalog, by default, rotates logs fairly aggressively. It the log file hits 1MB (by the gentoo default setting) it gets rotated with a new datestamp. This computer has been running gentoo for close to 7 years now and I've never once need to clearn out log files processed by metalog (I do have to clean out elogs and apache logs [when I had a web server running] every once in a while). The one time I ran into kernel trouble on my laptop, however, boy, was I glad I had /var on a separate partition. W -- "Getting the midterms back tomorrow is going to be a slaughterhouse."
