Hi,
There are probably more good than bad reasons. Like cutting off porn
sites from your kids? Especially if your kids are *very* young?
My son is soon to be three years old. He's got his own PC, where he
primarily plays pinball. (No pinball for Linux available yet?) When he
gets just a little bit older, like four or five years old, he will have
Linux (he still sometimes power off just like that :-) and a little bit
later, like six or seven(?) access to the net. I wouldn't like him to
fall over too many 'bad' sites.
Li, why don't you try junkbuster? Search for it at freshmeat.net.
There is also an 'improved' (IMO) version available at
http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/
junkbuster may filter the web traffic by contents as well as by sites.
(For instance, don't download any pages or graphics files with a name
containing [Beep: censored one four-letter-word here], etc.
Another plus is that you hardly see any more ads on the pages you visit,
wich was the first reason for me to start 'busting the junk'. And so far
I never regret that. :-)
Regards
Gustav
