Re: event viewer application
For all practical use, following may suffice your need.
1. Install mc (or install task-newbie) to get access to midnight commander.
2. Run from root (Xterm or console)
# mc /var/log /proc
3. Play with TAB and all key combination you can think.
You really do not need to know unix to navigate this way.
Good luck.
