I have a Linux server and my log files are gzipped like so:
username.Aug-2006.gz
username.Sep-2006.gz
If I used SSH to log in and I wanted to watch my logs live what command would I use? I have read that "tail -f" would work for uncompressed logs. Is this possible with compressed logs?

A compressed log is probably just there for archival uses, not actually being used. You could try it on a compressed logfile, and yes the command is "tail -f" (tail, show last 10 lines, -f, follow). Most active log files will not be compressed.

I did... But I find the same problems in it as Miami Ink. Theres far too much drama. Every tattoo seems to have some horrific long-winded 'meaning' to it. Like you can't just get a tattoo cause you want to. It has to be because your horses grandma died or something.. And I just don't feel like it portrays tattoo shops very realistically, y'know? And Kat Von D annoys me. Shes pretty, but I wish she'd shut up :) I do like tattoos though.

i have never tried it but logically i would say no because no program can check an archives actual content with out actually uncompressing it first and I don't see any uncompression links in the tail command.
Could be wrong.

nope... you would have to uncompress first... You have compressed logs that grow? Ouch!
