SquidGuard is a URL redirector used to use blacklists with the proxysoftware Squid. There are two big advantages to squidguard: it is fast and it is free.
CentOS
Primary tabs
A nice distro to use for a server is CentOS. It's built upon Redhat Enterprise Linux so it provides a "Redhat" style distro while being stable and well-tested. A more "cutting-edge" distro such as Ubuntu or Fedora isn't stable enough for practical use as a server – too many updates being regularly pushed out.
Post Install
Once you have your base installation done, have rebooted the computer and logged in, use the YUM package manager to update the currently installed packages:
yum -y update
A CentOS 7 "minimal" install was missing useful stuff:
yum install openssh-clients wget mlocate patch rsync bind-utils man net-tools psmisc epel-release
Perl-CPAN setup:
yum install perl-CPAN perl-YAML perl-Sys-Syslog
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install CPAN
