I think console goes back to the early unix days where you had a big
room sized computer and there would be a little table with a 'console'
terminal or even a dot-matrix printer that would just stream log output.
Now that thing is just another app in a window.

Yeah, I figured a kernel panic would be a big deal that would make itself
known. :) Thanks for the information about viewing logs. A console seems an odd
thing to name a log viewer, but hey, at least I know where the logs are hiding
now.

It's been a while since I had one but generally everything just comes to a
grinding halt and you'll have to hold down the power button to restart your
machine. If you have a kernel panic you'll know it. I think all the logs go
into the Console app in utilities. After the toolbar is a table to interact
with and pick which log you want to view and then move past the vertical
splitter to another table which will have all the log entries of whichever log
file you chose. There are a lot of logs with a lot of stuff in them.

Hi all,
I am looking at which ram to buy and a lot of reviews talk about "kernel
panics" upon installing different ram modules. How would I know if one of these
occurs? More generally, how can I examine system logs to see what sorts of things go on?
Every so often, vo will restart itself for no apparent reason, and I'd love to be able to
look and see what might be going on. Is the log viewing process vo-friendly? How would I
do it? Thanks.
Have a great day,
