Sure you can run it in VMWare, the only thing to have in mind it's
if the degradation in the network access will have any impact in
a gigabit interface. It's hard for snort to run over gigabit natively
so you should do some test to see if you can snort with gigabit in
a VMware machine.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
