If I had a child, I would want it to have its own computer by the time it was 5. I would want that computer to run Linux. People have tried this and it seems to have worked. But I don't think they were concerned with internet safety. I don't think I would have to police a 16 year old's internet access, but I sure as heck wouldn't want my 5 year old accidentally or purposefully stumbling into one of those awful awful sex sites! Awful!
What kind of open source 'net-nanny' program is available for a linux-based OS? I think the answer is -none- and that's a shame. I believe the whole open-source movement would benefit from getting these kids young.
