Sounds educated. Do you lock your car when you leave it at the railway
station? I do because I don't want to keep around all the time. On the
net may be confronted with the most terrible matter quite unrequested. I
do protect my children until they are able to cross the street by their
own. But still you're right, theoretically education would be the best
way.

You're right. Didn't look at the right place. It does use both cores.

Good suggestion. IPcop seems to be faster but I don;t know if their
content filtering algorithm is as good as dansguardian?
