A newbie question.
I need to do the following thing:
- Go (actually go) to a remote location
- Set up a machine there to capture packet every 6 hours, for 10 minutes (crontab probably)
- Come back a week later and pick up the results.
 
Is there any good reason to prefer tethereal over tcpdump, or vice-versa ?
 
TIA
 
P.S. All the administrative stuff, such as permissions, disk space, etc. are all
taken care off.
