| 38 | +<PRE>Hey Dave, |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +I can try to help you, however, there are to many unknowns in your |
| 41 | +situation to understand what to recommend in your case. |
| 42 | +I would start with what linux Distribution you are using in your setup. |
| 43 | +Also, it's important to understand if you are using a VM or a container. |
| 44 | +Another aspect is, what is your actual use case? |
| 45 | +What do you mean by POS? Point Of Sale? |
| 46 | +Did you self compiled Squid or used a packaged version? |
| 47 | +What is your "squid -v" output? |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +><i>From my experience I can recommend on a specific distribution for specific |
| 50 | +</I>use cases. |
| 51 | +These days I can say that it's very easy to use RedHat based OS ie Rocky or |
| 52 | +Alma, however, it's much easier to install Alpine linux (currently 3.23) |
| 53 | +and on top of it squid. |
| 54 | +For most use cases and for most ease of management I am recommending RedHat |
| 55 | +based and not Debian based. |
| 56 | +><i>From my eyes RedHat based OSes are more professional then many others, |
| 57 | +</I>however, for a more advanced Linux admins Alpine would be pretty easy to |
| 58 | +handle for specific tasks. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Please feel to contact me on and off list. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Yours, |
| 63 | +---- |
