[ILUG] Snort Intrusion Detection

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

afaik pdf documents are already compressed
by design - using gzip/bzip2/etc probably wouldn't
be worth the effort....

The ideal would be to offer a variety of formats
(which is what most do anyway) including
tar gzipped html, online html, plain text and pdf.

Anyway, its good to see people making an effort
to document things.. no matter what format its in!

Maximises accessibility? Who can't access a pdf document? (besides 
those using an exclusive command line enviorment, but even they have 
a GUI somewhere). It might take some time to download but I always 
prefer a pdf/ps over HTML. Also, as regards some technical people 
ignoring the work - it has been my experience that "technical" people 
prefer ps/pdf documents to HTML.

To counteract the size problem, I'd offering a zip/gzipped version 
also.
