I've used Squid with Squidguard and Dansguardian (dansguardian.org) with pretty good results. Dansguardian does, in addition to url filtering, content scanning for words, phrases and mime types you define as unsuitable. It seems pretty fast on a P200/128Meg, RedHat 6.2 system for 10-15 users. It you'll probably have to run either the cdrom/hdd version of Dachstein to get all the packages loaded. I'm not sure of library requirements either.
