[SLUG] internet for my little boy.

    Hey, everybody. I just set up a Knoppix-box in my six-year-old's
room. Needless to say, he's thrilled. I know that there's a bunch of
garbage on the net that is unfit for little eyes, and I don't want to
have to be answering tough questions too soon. What is the
best/easiest/most secure way I can give him internet access under strict
control without literally watching over his shoulder? He only ever
really goes to a handful of websights that are educational or game
related, and I want him to feel free and unrestricted with it, and I
want to be able to add more access as root as he matures and developes
proficiency with Linux. Does anybody have the solution that I'm looking
for? So far, he's fairly content with the slew of games that I
installed on the machine, but he's asking more and more when he'll get
internet and email.
