>theoretically education would be the best way.

I think parents sitting together with the children would be the best, 
wouldn't it? ;-) You know children (usually boys) starting early with TV, 
games etc. become typically not so smart tha other (mostly girls) because 
the "input" they got from that is only a fraction of what childrens brain 
was made for and needs. 
But it's not the place to discus here ;-)

dansguarian, squid, mail filter, time manager, block out going traffic 
etc. are all made as essy to maintain "plugins/adons".

If you not only want to "automatically protect" your children, but protect
your LAN/PC too i would recommand the "BOT"-addon: 
So all traffic MUST go thru the proxy. No P2P possible, no worm
can sent its spam, nor DNS can be manipulted by a broken hosts on the client.
But that's becoming to detailed for this list.


I currently don't know if one ever made an image of IPcop for coLinux.
and i don't know if the kernel would work.
