Snort was originally developed as a networkintrusion-detection system designed to run on Linux platforms, but has been successfully ported to a number of other environments, including Windows, BSD Unix, Solaris/SunOS and even MacOS X, among others.
One of the greatest advantages (or disadvantages, depending upon your point of view!) to Snort is the fact that its open-source nature allows security professionals around the world to develop customized rules and contribute them to the community's knowledge.
I agree Snort is open source, however I think it would be misleading to describe it as a poor-man's IDS.
