New to Snort

["Whaley, Mike" <mwhaley () rightnow com>]

Hello,
 
I'm currently in the process of setting up my first snort sensor.  Is there
a guide that gives a good overview of what one needs to setup a fully
operational sensor?  The snort site, to me, seems very hard to navigate
since I'm not familiar with it.  Sorry for such a stupid question, but I
have to start somewhere.  Thanks
 
Mike
