How to setup server as a proxy for windows updates?

[EQTitan]

I have a Dell 1550 in a 24U rack sitting in my basement and would like to set it up to run something small like Freeproxy. To "host windows updates" so I don't have to connect a bunch a computer at once to the internet to get updates.

Any recommendations?

WSUS is Microsoft's product for doing this, but it only runs on Windows Server products.

I'm running Server 2003 Enterprise Ed. (It came with the disk, COA) WSUS seems a little bloated for something that should be really simple.

Since you mentioned setting up a proxy server, there is an add-in mod for Smoothwall (a linux based firewall) that will do this. The "stock" version will actually cache updates for Microsoft, Adobe, Apple, and nine popular anti-virus products. You can add your own rules to cache updates for other products as well.

Info on the mod is here.
