Unfortuneately no. It's what I call a "bin diver special", a junk
machine an office was going to throw away. 400MB IDE of the old
sort.
If snort is report building, you hear a lot of disk
activity; through most of the day you only hear a
click every couple seconds or so. It doesn't swap
while passing ip traffic. Might do so if I really
try to max the bandwidth, but I've not noticed it.
Hey, I got 3 of them for free, had to do something
with them. I already had a doorstop. :-)
