I am using BTRFS on my laptop (well, on one of the three SSDs). I am using
Ubuntu 12.10 with a custom built 3.8 kernel. On this system BTRFS just
flies. It rivals EXT4 in performance, at least with respect to running
multiple VMs.
I can't do an exact comparison since the SSD that the VMs live o

I have been doing in place upgrades of Debian (and later Ubuntu) since the
'90s. This almost always works as long as you stick to installing packages
from apt and not custom building anything. On Ubuntu PPAs can also
seriously complicate an upgrade (well any third party repository can cause

Squidguard and dansguardian both make use of squid. All three are packaged

If this is for home, the easiest (and probably fastest to set up) would be
to have opendns as a forwarder for your router, block outbound DNS from the
