Hi,

You have a manual called Securing and optimizing Linux (Redhat edition)
available here :

http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/Securing-Optimizing-v1.3/

You could take a look also for the securing debian manual available at
debian.org. Even
if it's talking about debian, some principles are applicable for Redhat
Servers too.

> 2. Why is linux more secure than windows 

Because you have access to the code source and when a security hole is
found, the patch 
comes very quickly ...
The list of the advantages is very long but i can't put them all here,
you should take 
a look on google to search things like this ...

> 3. Securying Squid

Try linuxsecurity.com, you should find some interesting articles there
...
