• Depending on your needs you could add

     http_proxy="http://your.proxy.here:3128/"
     https_proxy="http://your.proxy.here:3128/"
     ftp_proxy="http://your.proxy.here:3128/"
  

  to /etc/enviroment to have them set by the login-process.

  cheerio

  thecoshman : would this apply the proxy settings even if no one logs in? Ideally, I don't want to have to arse around on the machine, just to update it or what not.

  in place of yum install you can use sudo apt-get install squid then follow the blog!!!
