[squid-users] Re:Re: [squid-users] squid as a proxy

I am actually concerned with performance of a Windoze box with Winproxy and
50 clients...afraid it will be too slow. Also Windoze crashing every few
days will make my life difficult. Also I need to buy an expensive
license...only had a few pc's using the proxy before now. Other than these
issues, I like Winproxy.

I'm just curious why change if you already have WinProxy purchased?
With linux and squid, you'll have to configure several "applications". If
you stick to WinProxy, you only have to deal with the one application.
Normally I'd tell people to go the Squid route, but you already own the
other software. It would make sense to keep using WinProxy.
