I'll do my best, please bear with me as I'm having a hard time deciphering 
your questions.

Hmm, there's no such thing as Linux 8.0. The latest stable version of Linux 
itself is 2.4.20. (note that Linux itself is just a kernel)

Perhaps you mean RedHat 8.0? Please clarify what Linux distribution that 
version number goes with.

Could you re-phrase that? It makes no sense to me as worded. It would be 
impossible to install an operating system without configuring it.

 Are you looking for specific advice on what installation options to use? 
In general most any setup should work, but make sure you install 
development support packages like gcc, glibc-devel (assuming RedHat naming 
conventions). You'll also need libpcap and libpcap-devel.

At this time, you should use 1.9.0. Possibly with spp_portscan2 and 
spp_conversation disabled in snort.conf if you don't have much memory on 
the system you are running.
