parental control software

My 15 year old is now so paranoid about spyware and viruses that he shows me every new site he goes to and refuses to install anything without checking with us first.

I got friends like that....

Some people dont know what an actual Virus is and think that anything abnormal was caused by a virus. And other people are too overprotective with their computers like I have another friends where they didnt delete any trial software and the only thing they have installed was itunes.

One of the greatest things I did, was took an old laptop, and a decent desktop, and installed linux on them. The kids can surf, and have great games and open office and such. But no worries, they can't install anything, nothing will run. If they learn how to manage and install stuff on linux (ubuntu and suse) then I will just hire them!

Its very easy to do by the way, go to edubuntu.com or ubuntu.com to get a live CD and you can try it out.
