Has anyone set up squid (proxy server/accelerator) in a small office (5-10
clients)
environment?  If so, was it worth the trouble?  Can you actually see URLs
load
faster?  I'm considering using it on a Pentium II running FreeBSD 3.3, 256Mb
RAM,
4Gb fast wide SCSI cache area on a 100Mbps switched LAN with 4 to 10 Windows
95/98
clients.  I'm not asking for tech help, just looking for "it worked for me",
"not
worth the effort", "6 of one half-a-dozen of the other" type experiences or
your
comments on squid or alternatives.

Thanks,

Toby
