I really like using sentinix http://sentinix.org
It has snort, acid, and snortcenter all set up and ready to go. It is
great for snort newbies as all you have to do is go in and start
tweaking settings. It is a distro based on slackware, and in addition to
the IDS stuff you can also install nagios, nagat, cacti, and postfix
with spamassasin.
It may be a little much for what you are doing, or it could be just what
you need. But you should definetely check it out.
