Here is what I would recommend as an alternative: Minimal hardware - Pentium 150mhz, 32mb RAM, 2GB hard disk FreeBSD 4.6.2 - http://www.freebsd.org Squid Caching Server - http://www.squid-cache.org DansGuardian - http://www.dansguardian.org With this configuration, you could filter just about anything you'd like to filter. DansGuardian lets you filter sites based on keywords in text as well as RSAC ratings and a boatload of other things. DansGuardian requires Squid and FreeBSD or Linux. The only thing you'd have to pay for is $89 for the 1-99 user site license and your (cheap) hardware. Reading the FAQs and How-tos in the above listed URLs should answer any questions you have regarding the capabilities and implementation of this alternative. Good luck! ///Jason -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9YTt4GLMreEWkV3cRAjirAKCnUsELRyac/7vIML8n/TVn3Q2BAQCfcFee 6Rob0xJORKJPIVNuvosWOgE= =XdNG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to the digest version first unsubscribe, then e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive of the last 1000 messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
