Squid/dansguardian

I just got a new building put under my administrative control when they
switched it over to ACS. I need to implment a proxy/content filter so
people cannot visit social networking/porn sites. I've been interested in
linux/bsd for a while I just havn't really had time to really dig into
setting it up. I had a slackware box as my router/firewall a few years ago
but I got a good deal on a cisco 831 so I've been using that for the past
2.5 years.
The other option i've been looking at was a symantec hardware firewall that
does content filtering but its a paid subscription service which I cannot
do. So that led me to looking at free solutions. A friend of mine said
openBSD running squid and dansguardian so i'm considering that. I'll be
using one of our old PCs (dell GX260 with 1 gig of memory and I'm trying to
dig up an extra network card). I downloaded and tried installing smoothwall
but its not picking up the onboard network card (intel 8254x series).

Heres a ghetto diagram of the network layout I want

ACS handles the PIX but i figure we will just configure it to forward any
port 80/443/8080 packets from 192.168.0.0/24 (PCs) to 192.168.1.2 (proxy)
then the proxy will allow/deny and forward allowed connections to the pix
outside interface 192.168.1.1 then the pix will send the connection onward.

anyways.. anyone have advice for what distro (if openbsd is a bad choice?
espcially for a linux newbie) to use or possbily some help setting it up? I
can bring the box to next weeks meeting if there will be one.

Thanks!
