“We?ll run our proxy server on a basic CentOS 6 platform with no
package groups preinstalled. For a really bare-minimum installation
you can use the minimal image from the official mirrors page. Once
we have the operating system installed we can install the proxy
server?s components.

“Squid: Squid is available from the official CentOS 6
repository. You can install it by executing yum install squid.
Ensure that Squid is automatically started and shut down with the
system by adding it to the default system startup and shutdown
levels with the command chkconfig squid on.”
