Hello folks!!
I�m intending to setup and configure a "little server" to test and run
squid. My question is really simple:
What is the minimum hardware required to run squid on a Slackware 10.2 box,
serving a small network with 20 workstations?
Any answer or knock in the head will be gladly accepted.
Thanks in advance and regards,

A Pentium 200 with 128 MB of RAM will probably be more than enough. No,
I'm not kidding.
Really, if it's a new server, look for the cheapest you can buy. The
hardware will be mostly idle anyway. 20 workstations is virtually nothing.
Don't fall for the Windows / Oracle people, who say that you can't do
anything with less than 4 top of the line CPUs. It's only that way
because their software stinks.
