I would go for atleast 2G. Also go for the latest version of squid from either the 2.7, 3.0 branches. 3.0 seems pretty good but you must get the latest version 3.0.STABLE17 because of the security bug! There is a ton of info in the wiki as well to browse over! Cheers Ang -- Angela Williams Enterprise Outsourcing Unix/Linux & Cisco spoken here!
