Hi,
I installed a network of five desktops in a small town hall, all running CentOS 5.4. The machines are publicly, and the mayor asked me to find some solution to effectively filter web content, as the kids' first reflex is to visit the interesting bits of the Internet first, from satanism to porn.
One of the machines will be set up as a router anyway, since the public computer room gets its internet access from the town hall, and I've decided to make another subnet for it.
Any recommendations for that?

I have DansGuardian set up on my home Linux server that acts as the router for our home network, and it does a great job of web filtering on the fly. (I have grade school kids at home). You basically configure a transparent proxy so all HTTP traffic is filtered, and it's configurable as to what categories you want to allow or block. I use RPMs available from RPMForge.
