Re: Which OS to choose for SNORT? (need help)

["Michael Steele" <michaels () winsnort com>]

Speaking of barnyard and Windows. Is there a reason why Barnyard has yet to
be ported to Windows?

 

Kindest regards,

Linux -- Snort is pretty much designed to run on Linux (Unix, osx, etc.)
It's functional, on Windows, but there are things that don't work on it.
For instance, things like barnyard, shared object rules.. etc.

 

Same thing goes for Solaris, No shared object rules.

 

I am saying, out of the three, Linux is not only the recommended way to go,
but also the easiest way to go for a beginner.

What's the point for recommending something if *you* don't give any
valid reasons for your selection?

Don't get me wrong I am a Linux/Unix user myself but if the user is
not familiar with Linux what good will it be?
