You may want to start by reading a post I made in the "How I Did It" forum a long time ago. It should still be there. I'll search for it later.
Squid isn't nearly as difficult to set up as it looks. The configuration file is incredibly nasty-looking, but page 3,472 of the documentation tells you that you should probably "leave the configuration file alone and go with the default settings," making you wonder why you wasted time reading the first 3,471 pages.
There are only a few things in the configuration file that you'll actually want to change. Everything else, and anything you don't understand, you should ignore. Take note of the port in the configuration file (or select a different one), start up the server, and configure your web browser to use that machine as a proxy. It'll probably work.
My How-I-Did-It went further and covered making a transparent proxy server and using filtering software, but you may or may not want to do that.
