apt-get install busybox-syslogd is better IMO. It simply stores logs in a ring buffer in RAM. Default size is aimed at embedded, so recommend increase in /etc/default/busybox-syslogd. Read with "logread"; monitor with "logread -f". I assume you're using swap only so you can suspend-to-disk. If so, set vm.swappiness to 0 if you want to avoid bonus writes to the SSD -- although I suspect that kind of ricing may no longer be worthhile due to advances in FTL firmware. > 3.
