Proxy server? What is that? There are a dozen proxies. HTTP proxy, FTP proxy, TCP proxy and so on. ;) Anyway I was kidding. What you are looking for is a simple HTTP proxy for web browsing. You either need squid[1] setup. It is not easy... You have to configure all browsers to point to TCP port 3128 which is squid's default port. There are other proxying services too. And they use different ports. There is also the simple SOCKS proxy which does only proxying, no caching. Unfortunately many of these need you to do some research. Just taking a liveCD and setting up a proxy may not be a great idea. In matters pertaining to networking/server room activity it is best to rely on relevant knowledge...
