If
all the PC is going to do is act as a Proxy, how about combining it with a
firewall and use something like www.ipcop.org. Almost a whole 15 minutes to
install, it has squid built in along with connection monitor/DHCP. It is all run
from a web interface so knowledge of Linux is minimal.
Simon From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reinier Battenberg Sent: 20 June 2005 10:22 To: [email protected] Subject: [LUG] which distro The NGO I am working for runs an internet cafe in a poor area in Kampala. We can only afford a 32 Kbs connection. A helpfull donor has given us a PC to use as a proxy server. Our ISP recommends us to use Squid for this (http://www.squid-cache.org/) As this machine will be connected to the Internet, it will also have to run a firewall. The PC we will be using is a P3 with 192 MB. The current knowledge of Linux of the staff is nill. Taken these facts into consideration, which Linux Distro is most suitable for us to use? rgds, Reinier Battenberg Program Coordinator Banda Community Development Program |
