I'd recommend baby steps. Get linux
installed and SA working as you want it. Then
do iptables...there's a zillion places to learn
it and many example scripts too. Then
tackle content filtering. Along with squid
you'll need something that does the actual
filtering (DansGuardian - licensed, or there are
several open source ones that do url
filtering). Trying to put all this together
(especially on one box - and being somewhat
of a newbie) is going to set you up for a *lot*
of frustration if not failure.

Squid
proxy server can do this. You can run it on the same box as SA, but I
don't recomend it. Not unless you have some good iptable (or ipchain) rules
to lock it down.
I've had
a test box setup in my office running Squid for about 6 months now. I
haven't touched it in 5 months! I need to clone myself to get more
done. :-)
But
you're jumping into an ocean here. I know because I do it all the time. If
you want to do things right, your going to suddenly have to
learn:
Kernel
Recompiles
IPtables
or ipchains
CPAN (Not
much to learn other then syntax, but still more stuff to cram into
brain.)
Spamassassin
Squid
Some
MTA
Not
trying to scare anyone away. But sometimes it gets overwhelming when you try
to do the 'next' step and find you have to learn something else. But when
you get all this free stuff running great on and old computer....man that
feels good :)
Now that i have this info, is there any
kind of Content filter that is linux based, if so ,
can it run on the same box as
SA?

I would suggest
using RedHat as there are many HOWTO's for using it with SA. You
can either buy the RH CD's from a retailer or download them from the
Internet.

Jean-Paul,
It really
depends on your environment. I'm currently running a P-III 500
as my company's spam filter (2000 employees), but we're going to give
it a "real server" now that its worth has been
proven.
