Don't put squid on such a low spec machine. It has a relatively large footprint. The 'net is slow enough as it is. Don't slow it down even more. In any case, you won't be able to get a decent cache going, because it doesn't support large drives. I set up squid to use at least 15GB on the drive, but I have a large number of clients using it. Why not just use it as a firewall and put a transparent proxy behind it. It does not have to have a public IP address. In my opinion, go for Debian. Why? Coz I like it, that's all.
