Just update with your distro.  Most have squid/squidGuard in their
repos.  Shalla blacklists can be scripted automatically to download.

Neither squid nor squidGuard do phrase filtering, but we have had good
success with using blacklists and whitelists.  We run it at a school
with a whitelist for the students (nationalgeographic.com,
wikipedia.org) and blacklists for the teachers.

It is extremely fast:
100,000 requests in 10seconds on a 500MHz Pentium with lists of
      5900 domains
      7880 urls
    13780 total
