It took me, at most, 15 minutes to install and have running on FreeBSD(which required a minor modification to the source), 15 minutes to play with, and maybe another 10 minutes to "webmin-enable" my squidguard.conf. On subsequent machines, the time was much less. It's still not perfect, and some of my boxes have rules that are way too complex for the module to deal with 100% - but I don't know if any GUI could. Even on those, the module still has value and doesn't get in the way. Jerry
