I would recommend Snort.  It's free and fairly simple to set up.  If you use more than one, I would think you could 
configure them to all log to a central syslog server.  That way all the log files would be centrally located.   Though, 
I think that as
with any ids, until you get them configured for your network and the "normal" traffic, you may see the logs filling up 
quickly with false alarms.
