Re: [K12OSN] Internet Filtering Costs

[Steve Switzer <steve switzerny org>]

For my home network, I use IPCop (www.ipcop.org), and have installed DansGuardian on to it with the addonz system (http://www.dageek.co.uk/ipcop/addonz/). I'm running this on a P-133 with 128 MB RAM. I was originally running it with 16 MB RAM, but found it was better to have more ran for Squid. :)

It works VERY well for my ADSL connection. Have downloaded at combined speeds of 450+k/sec. This was also compressed files! :)

So, IMHO, a 533 is overkill.

module from Stpehen Noble $17 (www.dungog.net/sme)  Works fantastic!

I happily use dansguardian with squid on red hat 8 
on a celeron 533 machine with 384 Mb RAM.  I 
downloaded the blacklists once and have only used 
weighted phrases (from the lists I can download) 
as my main source.  I use webmin and the dg webmin 
module to administer it remotely.

It's great and free and fast!
