Hello gentleman:

We are in need to securing our portion of the network and I have been given
this project. I'm seeing this as an opportunity to pull Linux into the
environment, and so my question is:

At the hands of a skilled administrator, is not Snort as good as any of
these other high priced software IDS systems? (That is: minus the bells and
whistles.)

Obviously we are price aware; but I must be able to guarantee a certain
level of security.

Thank you so much, in advance, for your expert advice!
