Do a minimalistic custom install, and then add components as necessary.

See the squid.conf file for examples of how to configure the ACLs. Again, I have had bad experiences with CPU load going over 4 with squid on 2.4.x, so you will probably need kernel 2.2.x. > ?The central server btw is a PII/500Mhz Thats plenty of horsepower.
