I use a number of web browsers on my home dialup desktop system, and
would just prefer it to cache stuff in a slighly more efficient way than
what it would do if just using each web broswer cache separately.
Squid seemed to offer much more than what I needed.
I installed wwwoffle, and it seems to do what I want.
Anything that I should know, but don't :) ?
