Hi,
I'd agree with the idea of computers in a shared space as solving lots of issues.
Monitoring them for hardware failures and uptime is all very weel but you're not running mission critical webservers on these units, if they crash once in a while that will also be a good life lesson to learn.
I've setup openDNS on various friends systems for their kids and the free version is reasonably useful, it will give you full offsite internet logging without letting you know the individual machine thus giving you an overview without violating your users/kids privacy, at the end of the day they should be able to explore some of the web, just not the extreme stuff.

I don't and never have, what I'd quite like to know is does anyone here know someone who has _intercepted_ email?
