I have been absent from the OALUG for a long time, and I was working on my
server the other day and realized, I need some help...
I will be making a better effort to join y'all for the next meeting, but
there is a few topics I would love to get help with, or at least try to
understand better... might be good topics for the next meeting or 3.

Linux Server Optimization and Configuration
Linux Server Tools

Things like that...

I run email, web hosting, proxy and filtering; my server is my router, DNS,
DHCP, gateway, and firewall; it runs IPv4 and IPv6, but I would also like to
do more with it as a file server, and maybe even look seriously at
Asterisk...

My biggest concerns are the troubles I am having with Squid and
Dansguardian...
a) I need a better solution?
b) I need to better understand it?
c) I need it better or properly configured?
d) all of the above
e) none of the above

I like to say that I know just enough to be dangerous, so ya might
understand where I am coming from. Most of the help I have had on this
server came from my friend Tim Riker, who is nothing short of a genius when
it comes to Linux (if not a little eccentric)  ;)

What I could really use is help going through the system to verify the
proper and optimized configuration of the conf files, etc. I like
simple/easy, and I tend to understand the "big picture", and I am not afraid
to mess things up (I've done it before)  ;)

So I am open to suggestions and would be willing to lend my server to be the
"example of how NOT to do it" if need be (or maybe I actually have some
things right and my server could be used as an example of "what to fix" and
"how to fix it"...

Anyway, thanks for any help, information, advice, etc...
