Actually, the best filter for families I have found is NetMop (.com).
It works better than just the blacklist filters as it has its own
content filtering for suspect sites. It all takes place on the fly and
is updated while you sleep. Only downside is its a monthly fee instead
of a one time purchase. But worth the money when it comes to protecting
your children.

Subject: Netnanny?
Hi all,
I have been trying to figure out if there is any good content
control software for linux like Netnanny or Cyber patrol, I
know these software packages aren't a replacement for parental
control but as a nice second line of defense to protect
children while on the net from offensive web content? I need
something that's "Set it and forget" simple to use can anyone
reccomend anything like that.. or am I just missing something
that's already more or less included with linux?
Let me second the recommendation for DansGuardian. I've run it
on Linux and I now run it on FreeBSD, configured as a transparent
proxy, and it works great.
