Squidguard is good but a little limited in terms of function. For more function there is Dans Guardian, natuerlich
For a complete firewall/filter solution on a separate machine, there is Endian Community Edition (free, a tiny bit tricky to set up if you've never set up anything like this before, but good) http://endian.it. It has integrated, albeit somewhat limited, content filtering as well as anti-virus filtering. For a little more punch to your content filtering, you need to manually download a blacklist (see http://www.squidguard.org/blacklists.html), upload it to /root with scp, unpack it into /etc/dansguardian/blacklists ... be warned that the first time you activate the content filtering it will take a long time - as in an hour on a fairly quick machine - to initialize. You'll also need a lot of RAM, like 1 GB or more, to run at all. Automatic blacklist updates are only available on Endian's very expensive commercial products.
