OK folks, thanks again for the feedback. Looks like I need to stick with "rsyslog", even though I am quite unhappy with the capitalization. But as it looks changing it doesn't change anything either ;) I don't see that "Rsyslog" gets us more. If at all, "rsysLog" would, as the key word to break is "syslog" IMHO. But anyhow... ;) I still keep the changed tagline.
