Speed'Up Your Network Access To Internet With The Intelligent "SQUID-CACHE" Proxy Server

So tired with slow internet connections while surfing the net at your office, lab, home network..? Or does your webpage view so slowly...? Now i need to describe one more module you can used on your linux server to speed'up your internet connections.... They call internet "Squid-Cache Proxy Server".. A Cache server works by storing frequently used web pages locally. So then when a web page request comes in, it simply grabs it locally if it is cached. This is all done transparently, so the user would only perceive the performance boost. In addition, it can cache various different types of data such as web pages, FTP sites, and gopher traffic. Plus, it can accelerate your web-server by sitting between the web server and the Internet. It then will cache web-server requests, and reduce the web server's workload. On my experience at my office network, with this proxy server i can increase up to 58% after i used this server module. Which means our Cache server was off loading up to half the traffic from our web servers, and Internet connection. So what do you need?" The Squid project is an open source Proxy/Cache system available for download on there web-site at http://squid-cache.org.
At the hardware spec for deploy this server, i don't think they need a too high computer specifications. From my experience, i just need to suggested 1Gb memory, Gigabytes NIC for channel that transfer connections to your lan & at least 40Gb hard disk because they need high memory for make fasting proccessing supplied data, large hard disk space to store data on cache systems & gigabytes NIC for make sure all data can be transfer at maximum rate. Lastly tips, if your're one of advanced linux admin, take a look for tuning your kernel too, maybe your can do better that what's i have done! :-)
