[K12OSN] Filtering anyone?

[Rob Owens]

At the recommendation of others on this list, I tried
out IPCop.  I haven't used it besides to test it, but
I can tell you that it was pretty easy to install and
configure.  The download is also fairly small, so it
won't take you very long if you want to test it out.

The most confusing part I found was that there are a
few different sources for obtaining add-ons (like
squidguard and dansguardian), and I don't know if any
of them are functionally different from the others, or
if one source is recommended over others, etc.
