Hi Zigniew,
Back in '96 I used to run squid on a (linux Slackware) 486 DX 100Mhz, 64 MB RAM
for 20 to 30 computers, with a dialup line. I can't imagine why it wouldn't
work or be overkill for your setup :) I actually have the same setup in mind
(down to the compaq + Dlink in bridged mode :-D )
good luck
