> any thoughts much appreciated. This is certainly advice that will differ depending on the giver, but I'd say if you want to start to play with Linux, then install everything under the sun. All of it. You've got plenty of Disk space, so who cares. This way, you don't end up needing something later on. Plus, you're far more likely to think "well, Squid is already on here, might as well see what it does..."
Again, there are certainly others whose views would differ. Including mine if I thought this was a production server. Kev.
