Ive volunteered to setup one machine with 4 logins + content filtering/time based ACL for the 2 children to replace ( and improve on ) my sisters' dying winXP machine. I want to use basic authentication ( less work for me and i think) and none are particularly computer literate to mess around at all ( well -yet)
