Someone from another forum suggested that I could safely delete
*all* files (but no directories) in /var/log ...
Is that true? or bad advice?
In particular, I'd like to delete these to get a fresh start
and see what new potential problem identifying messages will
be generated:

At the following link, I've arranged a list of files and directories
by type to ask which would be okay to delete:

Specifically, is there any reason to *not* delete empty files (0 file
size), .gz files, and files that have .1 .2 .3 .4 and/or 'old' appended?
