I'm thinking of installing a Gnome desktop on it for my 5 y/o grandson and grown daughter to use so they won't be pestering me to use my pc. The 5 y/o won't need anything except Firefox, some disk-based games and Parental Controls. For the Parental Controls, I need to limit the websites he can visit, and the time of day he can use the computer. The daughter will only need Firefox and a decent word processor. The computer is a P3 600, 256mb ram, ATI 3D Rage IIc video, plenty of disk space. Will Gnome2 or gnome-lite be faster? What is available for Parental Controls? Should I forget it because it will be too slow based on the machine's hardware? -- Later, Charles
