Edubuntu is aimed at schools etc. Does anyone know if they have a feature like
this? Apropos those who think the idea of a child filter is not worth
spending any effort on, since this morning I was in contact with two school
directors about installing SUSE on school networks. With one, the very first
question was about keeping the Internet safe in school - with the other it
was the third question. While the idea of 'censoring' might seem absurd to
developers, schools take this very seriously and I am sure parents do too.
I've seen how some schools see how filters don't always work and instead the
implement whitelists.
Duncan is right - there is no need to re-invent the wheel, but rather create a
frontend to give parents and schools the _choice_ to implement the features.
