I seem to be completely unable to find a list of packages in RHEL, but I still don't understand why Ubuntu is discarded for not having a recent Snort, but RHEL (which you say doesn't have a snort package *at* *all*) is not discarded. > - Ubuntu server doesn't have graphical libraries to deploy a > management console Well, yes, it does. Ubuntu Server uses the same repository as "regular" Ubuntu, so the libraries are indeed available. > - Ubuntu server doesn't have development packages: compilers, > libraries, etc that I need to install snort.

Could you be a bit more precise with regard to what you think is missing from Ubuntu in order to support these things?

We've got a very large selection of software available with excellent security support and also a very capable commercial support centre. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/
