Well since no one has mentioned this yet & most of the computers are Windows XP, I have a random idea. The Windows Live Essentials" over at http://download.live.com/ has a Family Safety part that you can install on the Windows XP computers. If they are not allowed onto the Linux box that could cover the network. I haven't used it personally, I just know it exists because I saw what I could install when I installed "Windows Live Writer" to make blogging easier for me.
The other solution I've used which was entirely Windows based as the Linux installers sucked back then, for someone who knew almost nothing about Linux, the early 90's IIRC. I'd setup a domain controller, then I'd add all of the computers to the domain, then all of the individuals accounts would be setup that they have to be connected to the network to login, then after doing that I could setup time restrictions on when they could login & also deny access to certain programs on the computer, I always turned off the useless feature of "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" so that I would have access to the more advanced controls after XP finally came out. I had been doing it for many years by the time Windows XP came out. The thing that sucks about that method is it is not cheap, but I had other people paying so I didn't care at the time.
