I use both clearos and zentyal at work and haven't decided which I like best yet , but. They are both so easy to setup and install I think even YOU could do it. :) All web based configuration, they both want you to pay a subscription if you want the latest updates but I haven't done that on either. I also use opndns at the schools I work at for even stronger filtering, can't have the kids looking at boobies.

But the nice thing about Zentyal is that it is standard tools, so once you use the GUI to do the basics you can tweak DansGuardian as much as you would like. I haven't looked at traffic shaping with it. That might get tricky. Doing a quick Google search, it looks possible but I don't have any details. As for me doing it, I'd love to spend an afternoon hanging out with a friend I don't see enough. You can just wave the fee you usually charge to put up with me. <grin> But I won't have time until October (family illness and work deadlines have got me pegged).
