Installing system tools
I'd recommend having a highlight box around the statement which reads "If sysklogd or syslog-ng are going to be used.." to make it stand out more with regard to the need for logrotate. Not only this, but I'd also mention that logrotate is rather redundant without a cron daemon, and I personally have fallen into the trap of having some large log files stall a working system because something spammed the system-log to death [literally!] !

 * Ok, I used the Tip template for it, and linked to logrotate immediately as that page also mentions the use of cron. --SwifT (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
