I run snort on a net 5501 (500 MHz geode 512 mega ram). I run most of
the standard rules plus a good number of the Emerging Threats rules,
and I can run an inside and outside instance on a full cable pipe (12
mbits down). And net5501 NICs are interrupt hogs. An atom should be
fine. I run openbsd and I'm not sure how the overhead compares, but
it should be ok, pfsense is well written.

There's no way to get snort to run on an ALIX, am I correct?
It should work but you must be _very_ frugal in choosing the (few)
rule
sets you want to load. Also setting it to lowmem is a must.
Thanks. I was just testing, I hope an Atom with 2 GBytes can
handle it without too much CPU load.
