personally, i love SuSE.. and it's pretty powerful, i run virtually over 500 users [and growing] on it... but, it really boils down to, as one of the members said earlier, is what OS u feel most comfortable with... my guess the UNIX/Linux OS u start off with, and learn really well, is the one u will most probably go with.. Squid was built to work on Linux, so u won't have much of a problem porting it.. u will only have to understand your flavour of Linux so u can know how best to tune it to run Squid in the way u feel would give u most satisfaction... and that will involve all the intricacies u can imagine with any flavour of Linux/UNIX you choose...
most will already have Squid pre-compiled and ready to install in an RPM/Ports package... all u need to do is get it off their CDs...
good luck
