I am planning a rsyslog deployment for my department using Ubuntu 10.04.1 - I cannot seem to find which version of syslog Ubuntu installs by default in the documentation, syslog-ng, sysklogd, old syslogd, or rsyslog?

- You can go to packages.ubuntu.com to determine what versions there are (original, and current).
Or you can check the manifest file of the desktop CD.
Ubuntu 10.04.1 installs rsyslog 4.2.0-2ubuntu8 by default.

Great answer. I wasn't sure if the packages.ubuntu.com was the packages possible or the packages installed by default. The manifest link did the trick. Thank you. Dec 28, 2010 at 17:00
