Installing a new SNORT box

[Thatcher Rea <T_Rea () BARTWEST COM>]

        I have spent some time doing research about installing a snort box
onto our Windows LAN. Because I'm really a Linux newbie I don't want to have
the snort box itself hacked into, I'm trying to isolate only those
daemons/services that I need to have for SNORT. I have decided to installed
snort on a PC-clone running RedHat Linux 7.2. I have read several articles
on Linux-Sec.net, and they have given me some good starting ideas, but I'm
not certain of which services SNORT needs to run. Assuming I was going to
have an installation of SNORT 1.8.3 that used all the bells and whistles,
what needs to run? Also, what kind of hardware requirements do I need for
this machine? I have been given a PentiumII 233mhz machine with 128mb RAM
and a 2GB hard drive to use, but I'm sure if this is enough. I'm sure
questions like this have been asked before, so If someone could point me to
a site with appropriate answers rather than re-answering questions that
would be great. Cheers.
