Red Hat's training was great. I was in about the 2nd RHCE Training classes ever given, and one of the first few RHCEs. The people that had previous *UNIX* experience, AIX, Solaris, etc. all passed. The people with Ms.-only experience didn't.
I recommend BOTH home set up and use of Gentoo, Debian, AND Red Hat, to see how they all 'do it' with their distros. AND get a lab going at work, AND take an off-site training class. The new Red Hat certification tracks look strong.
Thanks for the tip! Seriously, great stuff. I put in a couple of bands that I like and got a list of bands I've never heard of! (hopefully they're good)
You're not the only one. I tried to find a good reason to upgrade, but all the reasons didn't add up.
Besides, as another poster mentioned, they've added crap to XP that "gets in my way". Things that take 3 or 4 mouse clicks in Win2K take 7 or 8 in XP, and they aren't "obvious". (of course someone can come up with plenty of counter-examples, I'm sure. erm, I didn't even give an example did I? Oh well.)
...and don't forget catching the ball while listening to music, recognizing the song and the lyrics, and spotting the cute member of the opposite sex walking by--pow! (oops, lost track of the ball!)
Um, if the operations are covert, they aren't exactly striking terror into the general population of the target group, are they?...other than the continual gnawing fear that your jeep might suddenly meet a Hellfire (TM) missle fired from an unmanned drone, instantly incinerating you and your terrorist buddies.
Well, maybe that is a bit terrifying, if you are the target, but terrorism? Hmmm.
Good points. (You probably enjoy Boortz and Hannity on the radio/web, yes?)
Regarding privacy, it's not explicit, but is covered somewhat by "unreasonable searches and seizures" in IV, "deprived of life, liberty..." in V, and most importantly in IX: "The enumeration...of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Even if I don't like the other potential drivel the courts might spout, I'll gladly take an "interpretation" that provides a precedent for a right to reasonable privacy.
>Did I miss it, can snort (with any add on package) actually take action upon what it detects ?
Yes, it can. You missed it. There's a great add-in that allows dynamic updating of Firewall-1 rules called SnortSAM. There are others as well. If those programs don't suit you, if you have skill with Perl you could also craft a program to send the RST (reset) packets based on certain alerts.
Or you could always pay me to do it. (shameless plug)
You can do all that, and more.
The question is whether your organization has the time and resources to set it up and support it. If you've got the money, but not the time, perhaps a commercial solution is better.

Ficticious character.
Whether he was or was not, the lessons still apply.
Dave Barry as a ghola? ROFL!
Bravo!
It's refreshing to see that some folks around here have rational views and are well informed.
You covered all his points with almost the same rebuttals I was going to.
Thanks for saving me some time!

OMFG! Get out now! run! You might start rapping or looking surly!
Other than the stuck in doors bit, they did fix all of that.

Her comment about going there for the free food won my vote for "stoned".
"Hey, man, let's like, go over to my Dad's shoot...they've got free food!"
"Like, OK.."

Whoa!
That IS one scary friggin' logo.
Straight out of the Illuminatus trilogy, too, with the IA! part.
I'm going to go wrap my head in tinfoil now.

Gives the expression "Actually, it IS rocket science" some added meaning. ...or not, depending on how sarcastic you are.
Maybe, since you're not American, you don't understand:
In our system of government, we are not "given" rights. We have rights. People possess these rights whether they "deserve" them or not.
Although our government does not always do a good job with this, it was founded to protect our rights, considered inalienable and "God given".
Some things are not rights, they are privileges. Privileges are granted. Knowing the difference is important.
"What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?"
Trolling, agreed.
But sometimes you must respond, so that the uninitiated and unwary will not be taken in by the trolling.
Amen, brother!

Check the snort page for some good, detailed information on how to do this (mySQL logging) and much more.
Here's one way: Snort Installation Manual

Hmm... boycotting a location where the general population is armed and can defend itself. "How uncivilized".
