Is there any way to configure squid after the install? I was told I just install it &amp;&nbsp;point clients to it after I have the web filtering software set up...is it that simple??? It sounds to good to be true.

Sure, you normaly configure your system after installation. Debian based system have the configuration files at /etc/squid/...<br />
<br />
The documantation for this can be found here<br />

I hope the question is now fully answered (by the way: your question did not contain any word about configuration and for answering your second comment you should give some time before rating the answer with B).<br />

I was told by someone I could install Ubunto Sever Edition &amp;&nbsp;I would have an option to install squid during the install. I downloaded Ubunto server v8.04.3 but it didn't have it. It wasn't even a GUI. I know nothing about linux but need to install squid....can someone tell me which one of the OS installs will give me the option to install squid as part of the OS installation &amp;&nbsp;also have a GUI?

Ubunto/Linux/Squid Question

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
