I used a PII with Smoothwall (http://www.smoothwall.org/) as a firewall
and put DansGuardian on that. It took more than 10 minutes but was
fairly painless. It's still working great a couple years later.
There is a setting in Smoothwall, which is administered through an https
web page, to set it as a tranparent proxy. With that setting, no proxy
setting need be made on client machines. Couldn't be easier.
