Hello.
We are running Squid-2.2 STABLE2 (default configuration) on a
Dual PII 233 Mhz
512 MB RAM
Slackware-3.6
Linux kernel 2.2.6 SMP
The machine is perfectly stable, but there is some ugly memory leak in
Squid and every 2 weeks the squid process has to be stopped and restarted.
If someone is interested in fixing the memory leak I can provide more
info. Btw I tried kernel 2.2.9 but it had some problem with the Ether
Express Pro network card.
