OK, I hate replying to my own email, and I hate it when I'm thinking one
thing and say another.  Here's the REAL scoop:

Devil-Linux 1.1 includes squidguard, it does NOT include Dan's Guardian.
(I've never used either, and tend to get them confused ... sorry)

Dan's Guardian was discussed about being added to Devil-Linux and was
rejected because of it's license.  It is "not free for commercial use"
(copy/paste from http://dansguardian.org/?page=copyright2) and keeping
with the goal of making Devil-Linux completely free for everyone, Dan's
Guardian will not be included in DL as long as it's not completely free.

To summarize (correctly this time):  Devil-Linux 1.1 includes:
Squid, squidguard, SARG, and Apache2 (among a ton of other stuff).

No Dan's guardian, but could probably be added by you on a hard drive.
And you'll want a hard drive on a Devil-Linux Squid server anyway to
hold the cache.
