To be honest, I never really understood the focus on technological solutions to this problem. The user being monitored will always try to fight their way out of the box, and will often succeed (e.g. by downloading a live CD and using that).
When you start locking down every avenue for "unauthorised" use of a computer, you very quickly find yourself disabling legitimate uses of that computer - see the record industry for a classic example of where these good intentions usually lead to. It seems to me that putting computers in shared spaces (e.g. the family living room) encourages users to police themselves, as well as letting everyone spend more time together. > PS: a) I don't know if this is the right place to discuss this > -> noise signal Thank you for this opportunity to shamelessly remind everyone to fill in the signal:noise survey: http://pileofstuff.org/ubuntu-survey/ Everyone is invited to fill the survey in - it's just as important to fill in the survey if you don't know what counts as signal and noise, or if you find it a constant irritant. The survey doesn't take long, is completely anonymous, and is designed so that you don't need to worry about whether your answers are "right" or "wrong".
