Sorry about the slashes. I have been bouncing between Windows, Netware,
Linux and Solaris boxes all week and got my fingers crossed  ;----)))

This is largely correct (/var/log, though -- forward slashes :) ), as
AIX is tightly coupled with the hardware it runs on, and can get a better
glimpse into what's going on with that hardware.  But various daemons
will log things to syslog, and the kernel will log hardware-related stuff
there as well (to the extent it can detect anything).  Note that syslog
can be configured to put the logs anywhere, so while the common default
on Linux is specific files in /var/log, the local sysadmin could have
reconfigured syslog to use different file or even a different path.

That said, some of the "big" Intel/AMD server vendors (HP, IBM, etc.)
provide support agents/daemons for their servers, and typically have a
version of those for RHEL (e.g. HP's PSP).  These often can tie into
their central management framework (HP Insight Manager, IBM Director),
but typically will also log detected hardware errors to syslog (and can
generate SNMP traps).  For those servers that also have hardware event
logs, they also provide utilities to view those logs (e.g. the hplog
utility in PSP).

But it's a different world from that familiar to people coming from a
background in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris or (especially) mainframe.
