Which Linux distro for a Win32 Snort admin?

[Robert Reid <rreid () 1800FLOWERS com>]

Morning all,

I have recently been tasked with setting up a 2 sensor Snort IDS which will
run Linux on IBM hardware. I have a lot of experience with Win32 Snort (ACID
and Demarc) but none with Linux.

What would be the best distro to use for this project? I have redhat 9.0 on
hand but I was told its no longer supported, obviously I would like to
secure this box properly, without RedHat support is it still
possible to download patches?

Thanks for any advice given,

Robert
