Thanks.
I am looking to use a lower spec. box than that if possible, especially
regarding HDD space. I do not need it to be a server in any other respect.
It will not be running X. It will be PURELY a parental filter. I'm not even
bothered about caching. I just want a minimal box to filter traffic.
What would you recommend for this?
