Parental controls

Khannie · 2012-11-20 11:12:07

So I'd like to achieve some level of parental control but I only want to enforce it on my son. He has a login on my desktop (ubuntu 12.04) and an android device. I'll worry about the android device separately. So what's the easiest way to enforce a category based control on him, but not on me on a shared linux box?

It's there alright. Looks like it'll do what I want at the cost of being fiddly to set up. I'll give it a lash, cheers.
