RE: Minimal Redhat 7.3 install

["Baeder, Jason (GXS)" <Jason.Baeder () gxs com>]

In fact I do run snort with FreeBSD on my cable connection at home.  It is
indeed slim.  But for many varied reasons (too numerous to discuss here),
RedHat will work out better in my production environment.

try an openbsd <http://www.openbsd.org> install.  partition something 
like this:
/       64MB
swap    128MB
/usr    300MB
/var    the rest

then install only minimal required file sets + man pages:
base
etc
bsd
man

this will give you a really slim openbsd install, but enough to play 
around with (as long as you install precompiled packages).  the 
partition scheme i provided assumes you want to be able to stash some 
data on /var.  if not the case and you'd like a bit more flexibility 
with what you can do with the box, the make /use about a gig and give 
the rest to /var.
