[K12OSN] SquidGuard Warning from Extras

[Eric Harrison]

Hi Warren!

Sorry for being so slow, the start of school is always pure HELL ;-)

I'll try to take a look at it tonight. There is not much that is special
about the K12LTSP packages. There is one custom patch that transparently
forces Google's "Safe Search" feature to be active. I sync with other
blacklist providers, so there is even a chance those will end up being
the same.
