I have a Debian Etch server and it doesn't seem like its logging any errors. &nbsp;My server will have an issue and need a manual reboot and when i look in /var/logs the log files wont have any issues logged. &nbsp;I have a custom kernel so maybe i disabled something that would be better enabled? &nbsp;Anything you can think of that might have limited my error logging. &nbsp;I have not modified /etc/syslog.conf or the defaults that the syslogd starts with.<br />
<br />
Here my last example. &nbsp;the server started giving me Connection refused so i rebooted and nothing in logs but marks leading up before the reboot.<br />

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
