Going to have to disagree with Jefe. If you are using windows, the included wordpad program is much better at handling the file format that the server.log is in (it doesn't string every line one after another).
As far as the file goes, it will show what is said and the IP's of who connected, along with the player names they used. However, it will not show what they destroyed, you need a server like bukkit or canary with a block logging plugin such as logblock or hawkeye.

Use pastie or pastebin for config files, I do not download them.

crap, I meant to put wordpad, but it got mixed up in my head (talking with a friend over skype and notepad came up).

OP: I highly recommend getting Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
My log is 622,752kb notepad++ says it is too large.. What can i do?
The problem with that is wordpad may not deal with the formatting correctly, making it look all kinds of ugly and hard to read.
Try it and see. If that doesn't work, stop the server, delete the log file, and restart the server so it will recreate it and generate the error.
Just extract the .gz file with 7zip or WinRAR. Then the .txt file is inside.
