syslog-ng

I want to implement syslog-ng on my red hat linux servers. I have few questions in this regard:

What is syslog-ng?
What are its advantages over syslog?
Steps to implement it in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 environment.

Can some one please give me steps to implement syslog-ng in red hat environment.

An earlier reply would be highly appreciated.

Re: syslog-ng

See features and docs at homepage -http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/

For advantages - you can create easy centralized logging server with many features.

For installing - just install package syslog-ng*.rpm and remove old syslog.
