for a project i thought i would try to build/setup a proxy for myself. i hear it can speed up the net by caching webpages and help with anonymity and its just something to do with my free time... so is it really anonymous? is it hard to make the computers on the network anonymous? will i be fine just using debian/squid or is there a better distro for doing proxy? 

i been getting a lot of conflicting arguments and down right flame wars from my google searches about what a proxy does, anonymity and what is "user friendly." so i turn to the best community on the web.
