Intrusion Detection: Snort, Base, MySQL, and Apache2 On Ubuntu 7.10
This tutorial is based on another howto written by DevilMan, however I didn't like the idea of manually compiling every package or the use of a GUI to get the software installed.

A Switch Even a Penguin Can Love
Carla Schroder
I must confess to harboring a bit of a superior attitude toward my colleagues who think they need pricey Cisco and other snooty brand-name networking gear for every little thing. Linux and inexpensive x86 hardware handle all but the most demanding networking tasks capably and inexpensively. I like having complete control and customizability, and not having to pay per-user taxes.
