As far as I know Squid is standalone and does not need other apps running
for it to work. You'd aboviously need to configure squid (via the
squid.conf file) to suit your LAN but other than that it'll work fine.

Once you're happy that Squid is running fine, then move on to DansGuardian.
I'd suggest at first that you don't force Squid to listen on a specific IP
as DansGuardian by default will try and get hold of Squid on 127.0.0.1 and
although you can change these settings at first you want to keep things as
default as posible until you're happy with the way things are working.
