+<h1>rsyslog packages</h1>
+<p><b>Thanks to some volunteers, rsyslog is also available in package form on
+some distributions.</b> All currently known packages are listed below. If I have forgotten
+one or if you would
+like to maintain a package for a new distribution, please mail me at
+<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">rgerhards@adiscon.com</a>. Any help is *deeply*
+appreciated. While I create the core daemon, the package maintainers are really
+filling it with life, making it available to the average user. I am very
+grateful for that!</p>
+<p>This list has last been updated on 2008-07-11 by
+<a href="http://www.adiscon.com/en/people/rainer-gerhards.php">Rainer Gerhards</a>.
+New packages may appear at any time, so be sure to check this page whenever you
+need a new one.</p>

+<li>Almost any Linux</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Bennet Todd maintains packages that should work on almost any Linux.
+He keeps a current i386 tree. There is also a PPC tree, but that one is not paid
+much attention for (anyhow, it is known to typically work well, too).
+Please visit <a href="http://bent.latency.net/bent/">
+http://bent.latency.net/bent/</a>, select the relevant tree and then do a search
+for rsyslog.
+Please note, however, that as of this writing the versions in this repository
+have been aged a bit. So it may be worth trying to find some other places first.
+ </ul>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Just in case you are interested, the list of distribution is sorted by alphabetic order
+of the distribution name.
+
+<p>If you do not find a suitable package for your distribution, there is no reason
+to panic. It is quite simple to install rsyslog from the source tarball, so you
+should consider that.
