You can find Linux or BSDI versions of some filtering software
(smartfilter comes to mind, although the squid redirector I tried under
Linux emulation wasn't happy on our 3.2-release cache). I think you'll 
find most of the URL-to-filter listings are rather poor. You should 
expect to find many missed sites and false positives.

See peacefire.org (anti) and filteringfacts.org (pro).
