RE: [SQU] Optimum config for Squid on Linux for lots of users

Be extreamly careful with drive space... making sure your log files are on
another partition. I've currently got 1000 users running through my system
and the thing generates some 250MB of log every 3 Days. As for config, I'm
still trying to sort out mine :) Lot's of memory I've found is a must...
right now the Cache is running extreamly fast on a Dual PII-450MHz HP
Netserver w/ 512MB of RAM. I've also had lots of problems with bugs and
improper compile options in STABLE3 so I would be very careful with both.
Make sure to PATCH all the source as per the
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.3/bugs/ BUG-report.

Hope this is a help.

Subject: [SQU] Optimum config for Squid on Linux for lots of users

Hi guys,

I'm setting up Squid on a Linux Box that about 500 clients will be using,
previously I used FreeBSD to setup a fast proxy, and it work really nicely.
This time I want to set Squid up on a Slackwware 7.1 box.
Please send me any kernel/squid/file system tips that you can think of.
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks.
