Not that I think it matters all that much but journald will be running on your centos box, but it'll be configured to spew text into /var/log.

Just type journalctl and you should see the data there.

I suspected as much, so long as I don't have to use its tools I couldn't care less. Unless it eats resources.

I have no idea on its effect in practice, but theoretically it should have negative effect because it soaks in all the logs, and then it forwards them to the logging daemon, even when journal storage is turned off.
