we are not talking only about protecting children from seeing things, we are talkign about protection in general spam, fraud, innapropiate (user context), pishing, stupid lawsuits Nobody is going to refute good guidance is better than a filter in terms of adult content / children, but for a school you are not going to do massive children guidance for 1.000 kids that have different home education, you just want to lower the risk of innapropiate content being displayed during working times, and reduce virus, spam, frauds. Not only for children, people clicking on pishing sites for example is just people that is not informed about the problem, high-tech education. But a nice module to handle all this in a central place will for sure be useful for schools, home users, little mail servers that get flooded with spamming injecting probes. It will not solve the root of the problem, but it will reduce the risk, and at the same time, is a good way to put linux security on the hands of normal users, lot of alternative operating system (planned for somewhere in 2007) look to do the same.
