of course it will help... but you also need to configure it to limit downloads .. and lots of other stuff along the process... you also need to use squidguard.. that would make it easier and more flexible to configure. plus use ftwall, to block kazaa and the like... and a really good iptables script.

We have a prospect client. They're using DigitelOne aDSL. Their link 128K
bandwidth. The manager said it's always slow. I found out they have about
30 computers using the 128K BW (CIR is 8K only).
I want to recommend Squid proxy server to help them surf faster. Is it
really recommended? Will it really help them solve the slow access of
websites to make it faster?
BTW I also recommended to upgrade their BW to 384k.
The Linux box:
Some specs of the PC:
Celeron 1.7Ghz
1 Gb system memory
3 X 40 Gb IDE HDDs (7200 rpm each)
What's your comment and suggestions. Thank you.
BTW they will add another 20 PCs. So that total numbers of PCs will be
about 50 PCs.
