I use CentOS 4.4 and 5.1. But I recomend to you CentOS 4.4 because is a bit more easy for configure due to the squid and samba versions included in this distro. Be careful if you are using some intel motherboard and how Linux see the hard disk. If there are SATA you should see that as sdx(x=a b or c) instead hdx, it could affect the read/write performance. --- Jeremy Kim <jkim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I actually started with squid on a suse 10.2 but it > had problems of its > own.
