Desktop computers also have enough CPU power (and compared to that, negligible log volume) to do compression at log rotate time. It can still turned off when not wanted, but defaults should be conservative. As someone operating a couple of servers with low disk space, and high volume of logs, I very much like the default (even though I'm not using rsyslog - but the same settings should be applied for all syslogds present in Debian anyway). On my desktop, that ~10Mb of logs generated a day on my desktop takes negligible time and resources to compress. Compare it to updating the locate database.. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
