News like this just makes me happy!
Astaro is a great product! Up till now, It has only been free for home usage. Now you can get a good business firewall for free!
All though you get more cool stuff in the ASG Free Home Use Firewall, this is a very good Firewall with all the essentials.

Enjoy!

snort-2.8.5.1 debian/ubuntu packages

Loglevel: INFO

I have packed snort 2.8.5.1 for Ubuntu Hardy and Jaunty:
http://debs.gamelinux.org/snort/hardy/
http://debs.gamelinux.org/snort/jaunty/

I have changed the way I pack snort. I no longer pack the pgsql and mysql versions. I have also dropped prelude support. If you need them, drop me a line, and I’ll see what I can do. Its just my belief, that one should log in unified/2 format for speed, and let barnyard/2 take care of the rest :)

I also compile snort with IPv6.
