I'm the network manager in my school. I set up a Gentoo box using VirtualBox |
| 2 |
with 128M of RAM, to serve as the squid reverse proxy server and dns server |
| 3 |
in my local campus network. |
| 4 |
And it turns out: |

{{{ |
| 6 |
gentoo-vm squid # uptime |
| 7 |
22:49:48 up 7 days, 10:28, 2 users, load average: 0.35, 0.33, 0.45 |
| 8 |
gentoo-vm squid # free -m |
| 9 |
total used free shared buffers cached |
| 10 |
Mem: 118 114 4 0 60 28 |
| 11 |
-/+ buffers/cache: 25 93 |
| 12 |
Swap: 512 7 505 |
| 13 |
}}} |

If your demand is not critical, Gentoo can be quite lightweight :) |
