VDQ: Snort basic

[Beartooth <karhunhammas () Lserv com>]

        All I know about it is what I've read on novalug in the
last couple of days. I ran ZoneAlarm under W98 on my other hard
drive long enough before getting linux to know that merely being an
inconspicuous user on a home machine doesn't protect from sundry
intrusion attempts that I don't begin to understand; so now I ought
to have some sort of defense, but don't know what I can hope to
handle, or even find straight up about. Is Snort such a thing, or
am I out of my league as usual?
