This is definitely not a n00b friendly distro [1], I recommend sticking with stock-Arch or stock-Debian, learn their ways of doing things, then come back with experience to start using a distro like Bedrock. Far too many variables for what could be wrong and their documentation doesn’t look that great, either. Good luck!
I’d ask here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/bedrock-linux-118/
It’s an old school log aggragating service that used to be how most *nix distros collected logs in years past. As I understand it was generally replaced by systemd’s journald service. The only times I encounter it in the wild is on legacy systems that couldn’t or refused to adapt and chances are they’re paying a lot cuz it’ll be a painful support experience. Oh and for some it can be a useful way to sync logs up to monitoring services like Splunk but it’s effectiveness is debatable.
Y’all ever need to get those suckers out of those sideways fuse holders with those little gripper claws? I broke a fuse once pulling it out too hard. I’ll tell ya hwat.
