Squid on a B&W G3

[Derick Centeno]

Please note what is reported here regarding that model G3 and YDL 4.1:

I am unfamiliar with Dansguardian and the squidserver.  You probably  
have a better idea regarding setting them up and getting the source and  
compiling them so that they run within YDL than I could recommend.   
However if you are willing to consider a different approach and you  
have broadband or better it may interest you to consider this, a  
hardware firewall:

The hardware firewall will operate regardless what OS you use.  I've  
installed two of them, myself.

Best wishes...
