Greetings everyone.

After a long hard fought battle, I finally have received permission to
run squid on our network. I've always run squid on my home network (with
great success) and now im looking to do it in the corporate world. With
that, I was hoping to get some type of idea on hardware needs and
possible some suggestions on where to buy/get my hardware.

Ok. Company is around 70 people currently. Growth is very real possibility.
Coupled with using squid, I will also be using:
http://dansguardian.org/ For web content filtering. (And won't I come
out smelling like roses when I show them we don't have to pay $15k for a
web content system!)

That's it for now. Squid + web content filtering.

I know squid uses more memory than CPU power. what about disks? SCSI?
IDE? does it matter? Obviously, I would like good performance, but
prefer security over performance.

Thanks everyone.

Cheers,

Jaso
