[CS-FSLUG] DansGuardian installation

[Tim Young]

The only real difference is that you need to set up a "transparent proxy
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html

For this to work, you need to have the linux computer be the default 
gateway for the windows computers. If it is the default gateway then all 
outgoing web requests will pass through the Linux box. The transparent 
proxy will redirect the web requests to the dans-guardian, which will 
filter the contents.

If you do not want to pay for the dans-guardian blacklist, you can use 
squidguard, which is a free version. Dans-guardian has a number more 
options of things (and uses a different "policy". Dans Guardian allows 
you to do keyword filtering, etc. Keyword filtering is sometimes 
enjoyed, but others do not like it. For example, a news article about 
the town of Essex may be blocked due to a partial word match. But, it 
does filter out more pages, pages which might otherwise not show up in 
the black-list but should.)
