I might need a bit more help than "using squid proxy".

I'm still quite a newbie to many linux commands, terms etc.

I'm sure you could do this with Squidguard or Dansguardian.

I think Stephan Noble put together a Dansguardian contrib for SME 5.6.  Have a look at dungog.net

LOL yeah, that would be the easy way, if they are not to tech savy they would not figure it out either.
