Shalom,

I would suggest a supported release of Red Hat. ES 4.4 or CentOS 4.4

The default squid implementation gives you much of what you desire.

You should use CentOs as menthioned above or Fedora Core, these are "recent versions" of Red Hat (in some way).

Squid basic functionality you get by default, user authentication is done by configuring:

auth_param negotiate program .....


Search in google because there are a lot of options to configure user authentication (PAM, LDAP, Active Directory).

Reports you can get using sarg or srg (Squid report generator) available at sourceforge.net.

Squid administration can be done via webmin.

if you go for RH9, you're asking for problems.
use a more recent release (fedora) or version with longer support cycle, like centos.
