It may matter quite a bit, actually. I use metalog on my |
| 12 |
server/desktop and syslog-ng on my laptop. metalog, by default, |
| 13 |
rotates logs fairly aggressively. It the log file hits 1MB (by the |
| 14 |
gentoo default setting) it gets rotated with a new datestamp. |

This computer has been running gentoo for close to 7 years now and I've |
| 17 |
never once need to clearn out log files processed by metalog (I do have |
| 18 |
to clean out elogs and apache logs [when I had a web server running] |
| 19 |
every once in a while). |
