In fact I do run snort with FreeBSD on my cable connection at home. It is indeed slim. But for many varied reasons (too numerous to discuss here), RedHat will work out better in my production environment.

Bennett, Thank you. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. As it turns, since I got snowed in today (and probably tomorrow as well), it appears that I do have time to reinvent the wheel. I pulled out an old PC and started the process of cleaning it out to try a Redhat install. Athough with a Pentium 200/64MB RAM/1.3 GB HD I don't know how far I'll get ;-) Jason
try an openbsd <http://www.openbsd.org> install. partition something like this: / 64MB swap 128MB /usr 300MB /var the rest then install only minimal required file sets + man pages: base etc bsd man this will give you a really slim openbsd install, but enough to play around with (as long as you install precompiled packages). the partition scheme i provided assumes you want to be able to stash some data on /var. if not the case and you'd like a bit more flexibility with what you can do with the box, the make /use about a gig and give the rest to /var. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson PGP Key-- 9F5179FD "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
