Sure, it will work fine, as will any other linux distribution.

Just installing the squid package should be enough to get your proxy to
work. If you need to do fancier stuff, like transparent proxying (so
that all outgoing http traffic is automatically routed through your
proxy), or firewalling, you should take a look at the Firewall and Proxy
HOWTO. It can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html

direct any questions you might have in the future to
