I've currently got the 2.6.1 release running on an old compaq p2/300, 
512MB ram, 10k rpm scsi drives running fedora core. I didn't even see it 
bump the top load indicators, which I was using for just a rough 
indicator, when I've been testing it out, so I'm curious to see how it 
scales.

The consortium of schools that my school districts are a part of use the 
N2H2 Bess filter for all our web traffic, but after watching how 
actively students are working to get around it, I'm interested in using 
DG to supplement the Bess filter with the content filtering.  No filter 
is perfect, but I'm just aiming for the best effort possible solution(s).
