Hi, CentOS / RHEL 6.4 runs natively on the Hyper-V platform. Just keep in mind that i've never done an install with a desktop manager running as i generally just with the console / ssh. I manage several web filtering servers based on squid running that distro (usually squid 3.3.9/10 on CentOS 6.4), it works fine and is rock stable. Other than that, i use a really basic squid / squidGuard solution, log parsing is done by sarg. 2013/11/25 alamb200 <alamb200@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hi, > I have several aborted attempts to get what I want to do to work and have > failed miserably every time, so I thought I would ask you for advice. > My plan is simple (in my head anyway) I want to set in place a device to run > squid proxy so that I can the reduce bandwidth usage and also so i can see > what users are doing on the web. > So far I have tried a Windows solution but could not sort out the syslog bit > and a linux solution which I struggled with and had to give up. > My plan is to host squid on a virtual server hosted in Hyper V, on my > previous attempts with linux I tried to use the gui desktop but could not > get it to display properley so I am going to have to work around the command > line to get it working. > Can anyone help with this?
