Hi folks, I'm setting up an OpenBSD 4.4 box with a 500Gb drive as my proxy server, and I've looked but didn't find any "rule of thumbs" for setting up Squid using a large hard drive (if there is one, I'm happy to read...just point me to it). It's my understanding that Squid doesn't really need a fast processor, so I've set up a 1U server with an Intel Celeron D 330J 2.66GHz processor and 16G of memory. The server will not have X installed, in fact, it's only purpose is to be a proxy server. There will be, at most, 2 other users with user accounts on this server, and they will only be administering it; not installing software or anything else. Here's the partition setup on how I've installed the OS: / 1G swap 16G /tmp 1G /var 160G /usr 160G /home 160G I have no idea if this setup is good or bad, and I welcome ALL of your suggestions as I'm new to Squid (and fairly new to OpenBSD). In addition to buying OpenBSD (thanks all for a great OS!!!) "Squid: The Definitive Guide" for guidance in setting up squid. I'll be using the "default" recommendations in this book to configure Squid, so if anyone has any suggestions on any "tweaks" I might want to consider, well hey...I'm all ears. Comments? Suggestions? Thank you! Ed
