RE: [Snort-users] Minimal Redhat 7.3 install

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.
