Happy new year! Sorry for my bad English and if the question has already been posted and replied, please, give me a pointer to the reply that I couldn't find in the FAQ, neither in the mailing list archive.
Functional Requirements and constraints: the system should be a transparent proxy and cache http server. It should allow/disallow the access to internet sites, upon their names, ip or contents, and should do http traffic monitoring. At maximum it will be 80 client PC connections together. The normal traffic will be of about 20-30 contemporary users. The internet bandwith is about 2 Mbits and the internal lan is at 100Mbits. The administration should be easy, because if I die, at the site there are no UNIX experts. I'd like to use Linux+squid for transparent proxy-cache. For easy administration I see that exists a webmin plugin for squid. What I'd like to know is what Linux distribution should be more effective to meet the functional system requirements. It is, which distribution comes with a kernel that can do transparent proxying, an updated squid, smartly default preconfigured and with the tools to do site and content filtering and trafic monitoring? Best regards to all and thanks to replying people, Andrea
