* GUI - definately not needed. Waste of space. You can do a pseudo GUI in text modes anyway (which I would suggest doing for initial config).

That was my thought too.

* I would personally suggest having a live-CD version with no disk cache if possible. Some people may want to see how easy it is to work before they commit a box to it. Obviously it won't cache (well, much) if there's no disk, but as a demo it would work.

Having it run as a live-CD is fine, as long as it will also install into a usable state.

* My choice of distro to base it on would be Debian (stable). They are pretty solidly committed to security, and there's hundreds of mirrors out there (with debian providing online lists you can query).

I don't know much about such things. Are there Debian based live CDs that don't use X, have good hardware detection, install easily to harddisk, and would be easy to integrate Squid installs for which there are no official Debian packages?

* For post install configs, you could use the same interface as the installer. Have the primary console run it via init (with askfirst so it's not always running). You could additionally have a web interface, running from a tiny HTTP server preferably.

Agreed.
