[TriLUG] Syslog analysis program + good software recommendation site?

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

Hi all!

Can anybody recommend a program that can analyze, etc., Syslog
information, sort of like awstats does for web/ftp?

Also, one branch up the tree, can anybody recommend a resource for
getting a list of the "most popular" or "preferred" tools for certain
tasks? For instance: I want to know what the best / most widely used
program for burning DVD's in Linux. I go to http://<where?> and browse
by category, and see a list of packages, rated by people and with
descriptions. Does such a site exist?

If not, maybe I should build one. :)
