Hi all - I am having one heck of a time getting a 64Bit distro to run
Snort on. My current Snort box runs on Windows and I really want to
stop using Windows. I have tried my favorite Distro - SlackWare
(10.2) and the 64Bit port and neither has native support for my SATA
controller. So I went on a hunt for a distro to install to run Snort
on. So far I have tried

Fedora Core 4 64Bit (Would not complete boot up - ever, even tried
re-installing)
CentOS 4.2 64Bit (Same results as FC4)
OpenSuSe 10 64Bit (CD MD5's never matched the downloads - downloaded
it 3 times from different servers)
Ubuntu 5.10 64Bit (Could not get MySQL running - much less Snort)

I am not very familiar with FreeBSD (or any *BSD) but if the strongest
response to this is BSD then I'll have to dive into it. Ultimately I
just want to run a secure 64Bit Linux box that I can run
Snort/MySQL/BASE on. So with that in mind - What are your suggestions?
