Does the Unity log file viewer offer more features than simply opening
a terminal and using the tail or less command?

tail -f /var/log/messages # is a rolling real-time display of the log.

less /var/log/messages # lets you scroll the whole system messages log.

I don't know whether Ubuntu uses systemd (though I suspect it
doesn't), but systemd has added log journaling and a new command,
journalctl.

HTH,
