Greetings, all.

My age is showing.

Log File Viewer is the menu designation for the gnome-system-log app,
available with Synaptic, and used to be in the Knoppix 6 series.
I like it because it has a nice bookmark system to it. Costs you 2680 Kb.

MC output does not appeal to me for this purpose, but a real gem in
a lot of other ways. Worth the 6603 Kb it runs. Reading text not very
attractive to me this way.

Leafpad would be my preference over mc for just reading text files.

The bookmark system of L-F-V lets you mark a lot of text files for
reference, and guicker to get back to them than through a terminal
or file manager.

We all have our peculiarities.
