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!
