[KLUG Members] choice of i-filter/firewall/squid box

[J.A. Sarma]

I am asking for some guidance on a choice of /firewall/squid/& internet web
filtering/ for a small school lab environment.  There is already a Windows
2000 server and a separate Printserver locked in place, along with WinNT
boxes for teacher access.

There have been many positive responses with a tryout of an LTSP & thin
client setup.  Now there is a requirement to install a box between the
broadband cable modem and the rest of the school's internal LAN to filter
Internet access.

My first choices have been a second box with an LTSP install with
squid/squidguard/shorewall and two ethernet NIC's.  Other possibilities are
a box with Devil-Linux, if I can run squid and squidguard on it.  There
might be other suggestions.

Recommendations, Anyone?
