[syslog-ng] Syslog-NG OSE : a more and more difficult choice to make.

[syslogng at feystorm.net]

Well I dont know what all features rsyslog has, but syslog-ng has all 
the ones you mentioned. The sql support and solaris are both available 
in the OSE, and the disk based buffering is available in PE. What does 
rsyslog have that syslog-ng doesnt? Just curious.
