Im thinking about setting up an IDS snort to be exact. I was wondering what os you guys would think i should set it up on. BSD, Redhat/Fedora etc... It would be for a comapny atmosphere.

thanks in advance

I'm probably being called stupid; but I run Snort width IDS-Center under windows XP

It runs fine!

I have had a lot of success with Redhat and Snort. But snort should run fine on BSD or Redhat/Fedora. It all depends on which flavor your most confortable with.

due to its secure nature, Free/ Open BSD would be a good platfrom to run such security programs on, Personaly i have tried running Snort on FreeBSD and it ran just fine. However I gave up due to getting a router, and as im only a one man band i cba to have huge amounts of protection to my home PC.
