dear shaky86

Im glad to hear, that youre willed to give a chance to the "best" operating system :))

I think also RedHat 9.0 is a good choice for you.

But if you would like to run a stable and secure proxy with linux as a beginner, check out the IPcop firewall!

- Its easy to install
- Its easy to administrate
- Its easy to upgrade

you can find it at www.ipcop.org

good luck!

chris

Most ditros have options to install as a workstation, server etc and automatically select the most appropriate packages for the job. You can also install squid afterwards if it wasn't selected during initial setup.
