I an running RH 9.0 and I want to run Squid and Dan's Guardian web filtering. But first what do I need to get Squid up and running? Do I need Httpd, MySql etc...? Thanks for any help.

As far as I know Squid is standalone and does not need other apps running for it to work. You'd aboviously need to configure squid (via the squid.conf file) to suit your LAN but other than that it'll work fine.
Once you're happy that Squid is running fine, then move on to DansGuardian. I'd suggest at first that you don't force Squid to listen on a specific IP as DansGuardian by default will try and get hold of Squid on 127.0.0.1 and although you can change these settings at first you want to keep things as default as posible until you're happy with the way things are working.
