I would say 64M. I'm running squid (1.1.9) at a Sun Ultra1 and found that it
uses a lot of mem. (Solaris uses a lot of its own thats true) These days mem
is not to expensive anymore so I wouldn't be cheap here asuming you might
end up with 300-400 users. (Believe me when a few users have access all
users will want and get it whatever management says... I've seen it happen...)
