[Icecast] Newbie Questions

[David Saunders]

Hey,

   Welcome to the world of servers. : Once you get it all setup it should
not be allot of work for you. It runs with very low maintenance.

  Most the Linux I seen do already rotate the logs.  You just have to
sometimes tell the programs where your icecast logs are to be rotated.

David.
