Hello,

I checked the site of janaserver: To can provide the nearly the same
services as with janaserver with linux, but squid is only a part of the
puzzle. You will need some additional daemons: a named (bind), MTA/MDA
(postfix/procmail/imapd?) and probably a webserver (apache).

You can also think about masquerading/NAT with iptables. You are
probably already familiar with iptables, if you have hooked up your
linux-box to the net.

However, if you have only a couple of clients to serve you may want to
setup a dedicated linux router - try http://www.fli4l.de/ , this
minidistro will run on nearly any pc-hardware - a 486 is sufficient for
ISDN, no harddrive needed.
There is also a squid available for this minilinux - but you will need
to add a hdd in this case.
