Why the viciously sarcastic tone? You asked for help, the above post gave you some. Just because you see some command-line stuff that is a step more complicated and requires a bit of understanding as opposed to 'click this, click that' doesn't mean you need to just dismiss it out of hand as being 'for sysadmins, not mere mortals'. > Why would I want to use logrotate, > and how will it help me solve my laptop's log cancer problem? If you'd paid any attention to the post, instead of simply crying out 'tl;dr', you'd see that in some cases partitions can fill up due to logs filling up out of control. Logrotate can rotate logs out and save disk space, preventing that sort of thing from happening.
