Open Source saves my day

This weekend was the big re-install. Among other things, my aging FreeBSD server was replaced by a Windows server which took me deeper into the world of Windows DNS/DHCP and Routing. For the time being I am left without a FreeBSD machine, and that left me without a HTTP proxy. Unfortunately I do not have ISA server, a quick Google and I found a native port of Squid for NT4/2000/XP/2003. You just got to love the open source community. I wish I had the time/courage to contribute in a significant way. Now my next step is to install a Linux box to further explore MONO and dotGNU.
