By default Mageia 3 should only have journalctl. Optionally you can still install rsyslog. Any syslog package will store the same information as journalctl does. Installing this by default provides little benefit, so it was decided that we only do journalctl by default. If installed, you double the storage used for logs. Not sure how to handle an upgrade. rsyslog should still be in the repository, but no idea if Mageia has something like a distro upgrade actions (probably best to explicitly remove rsyslog when using the installer to upgrade.. keep rsyslog when using urpmi). -- Regards, Olav
