Working on that doc right now.  Hold off a few days
and I'll make a FreeBSD convert out of you. :)

My suggestion:  Don't waste time building a box
with 'everything'.  Just
install snort on your sensors and nothing else. 
Have all of your sensors
use Barnyard and log to a remote/central DB server
and on the DB server
install ACID.  The 'leaner and meaner' you make
your sensors the faster
they will be able to run and work.

And actually, that works for everything involved.

A DB box will run faster if it doesn't have to sniff
packets, just like
a sniffing box will run faster if it doesn't have to
do DB stuff.
