;; Okay, here's the good stuff. We're trying to get a system up and

;;
;; Okay, some notes:
;;
;; With jclouds 9b, I'm getting all sorts of errors. In config, we
;; need to make sure we're using aws-ec2, not just ec2. Also,
;; cake-pallet adds pallet as a dependency, which forces jclouds
;; beta-8... doesn't work, if we're trying to play in 9b's world.
;;
;; Either I have to go straight back to 8b, with cake-pallet and no
;; dependencies excluded,

;; ## Configuring Proxy
;; Compile squid from scratch,
;;
;; ./configure --enable-removal-policies="heap,lru"
;; Then give the guys my configuration file, from my macbook.
;; TODO -- figure out how to get the proper user permissions!
;;
;; run squid -z the first time. squid -N runs with no daemon mode
