Subject: [CentOS] proxy server - ipcop vs CentOS

I have purchased a used Compaq DL360 which I was going to use as a proxy
server. Presently, we are using a cheap box with ipcop which is working
fine but it didn't have much RAM (64MB), etc.

This new box we will want to run squid and perhaps dansguardian for
filtering (this is a non-profit company) and I'm wondering if I should
just put ipcop on it or would it be smarter/better to install CentOS 4,
squid and I see Dag has dansguardian package which suggests that I might
get more and better options from this.

Anyone have opinions on ipcop vs. CentOS

Craig, 

For that particular application I would probably stick with ipcop. There are add on packages for dans guardian. IPCop is a pretty stripped down distro, and should run fine on 64M.

I beleive (If I am reading correctly) - it was his old box that had the 64mb ram.
