Doesn't this depend on what version you install?  I think the workstation version does not include rsyslog whereas the server version does. 

I too found it more than a little concerning when I was trying to help troubleshoot an issue on one of our admin's systems.  I logged in, did a less /var/log/messages and got a "No such file or directory" error.  When you have been doing the same thing for over 20 years like I have, it's very shocking, like one day you go home and suddenly someone has moved your house and you have no idea where it went to.

Is there really a good reason to not use the messages file anymore?
