[GRLUG] white list for K-3rd grade

[Collin]

This very topic was just brought up a few days ago. If you are using 
linux you could just add the relevant websites to view into the hosts 
file. Actually, in windows you can do the same thing. It's at 
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Either way remove any DNS server 
entries so that the machine can only lookup the domains you've specified.

The problem with either is that you will essentially only have one 
access level. It's simple and easy though.

You could use squid to do website filtering and block all but an 
approved list. It would probably even be possible to have multiple 
access levels. But, it'll be a little more involved to setup too.

Anyway, you might search messages from this group for a few days back 
for the "Web filter for kids" topic.
