Hi ocean, thanks for the reply.
Is there a browser that will work out of the box with flash?
Most of the
games the 5 y/o uses are flash-based.
if you install the right ports on a fbsd 8.0 maybe it could just works (it's
being discussed in the freebsd forums:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=5786
gnash could also work but it's known to have some issues so i won't recommend
it, possibilities are firefox+flash for windows under wine which someone says
it works, or linux emulation and firefox+flash.
for parental control there's also the opendns alternative that can block adult
sites, though i don't know how good it works.
you could also look at this (never tried it, don't know if/how it works):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1803
http://procon.mozdev.org/
also for the old computer i would recommend xfce or, since you say they only
need a few programs, you could go with just Xorg + feh for the background +
xfwm or openbox + a light taskbar and a nice dock-bar (wbar or simdock) were
you will only put the applications they need to run.
if there aren't specific problems with drivers and similar, an upgrade to a
newer freebsd version could be advisable for flash :)

ocean
