A Parent's Guide To Linux Web Filtering

Posted by timothy on from the your-own-shade-of-rose dept.

Roblimo writes "Not all parents want their children exposed to everything on the Internet, especially porn. So far, virtually all home-level Net filtering software has been for Windows. This tutorial on NewsForge, by Joe Bolin, shows Linux-using parents how to set up Web filtering for *their* children -- and shows them how to customize filters to fit their own tastes and beliefs instead of relying on a commercial software company's ideas of 'good' and 'bad,' too."

    Yes, this the parent is somewhat remotely on topic. i.e. you'd rather have your kid visit homestarrunner.com than penny-arcade.com. That, and at the risk of being modded down, I just love Penny Arcade's Internet Fuckwad Theory and had to share it.

    It would be cool if it didn't suck.

    Simply incorrect. None of they are owed respect by default. Now mind you, you had better treat the police officer with civil behavior, because most states have laws allowing them to areast you if you do not.
