Basic system logging is provided through the syslogd daemon. Standard logs are generally found in /var/log/. The central configuration file is by default located at /etc/syslog.conf.

A good idea is to add the following line somewhere in your /etc/syslog.conf file

• .* /dev/tty6

then all you have to do is hit Ctrl-Alt-F6 and you can see all your logs as they come in. You can change tty6 to some other tty to fit your needs like tty2 or so on.
