I do not expect basic users to do that. > As far as I see, the distributions covered in Linux Essentials all use journald by default, actually since a rather long time. Candidates installing Linux today, will likely face journald and not syslog. If someone uses syslog, it's either legacy (so they are in the field long enough to go for LPIC-1, at least) or on purpose in a niche like special distros or applications/devices that require syslog support (so they would know what they are doing and will likely able to also answers some journald questions). Since the main Linux Essentials candidate will likely not be exposed to syslog unless we ask them to, I wouldn't include it in the exam. Fabian
