Slackware and RedHat/Fedore are in the same "league"???

Hi, Marty.
Thanks for the post; your work in the IDS field is truly significant, as obvious in the many branches/ports of Snort in use.
Snort-Inline is very appealing; however, the documentation/resources available (outside of the Honeynet Project) seem quite limited. For example, the documentation included with Snort, as far as I can tell, is a mere copy of the instructions used for Honeynets.
That said, Snort-Inline is intriguing and I look forward to the continued work of you and others in the field. Particularly, for an open source (or close to it-- I haven't read the fine details of the licensing) project, Snort + Snort-Inline, in my opinion, could have a significant impact in reducing network intrusions.
I, obviously, don't work for a security firm, but I presume Snort coupled with data mining technologies could be an invaluable tool the security industry.
On a side note, I hope Frank Knobbe with the SnortSam project continues development as well. SnortSam, at my initial glances, appears a bit more robust than Snort-Inline.
