Getting ready to roll out a squid server in my organization after doing about a month of testing on it on a virtual machine in VMware server. Is running squid in a virtual environment recommended, or is having a dedicated box a safer way to go? I'll have about 30 users that hit YouTube and other streaming media sites throughout the day and I am hoping to cache a lot of it since many watch the same ones more than once. I do, however have a box set aside that I can use which is a P4 3 Ghz w/ 1GB ram and was going to drop in two 10,000 RPM drives for the cache. I know that the squid wiki says JBOD is preferable, however is RAID 0 a bad way to go?
