Internet filtering solutions

EEk! Now I'm not a wuss but I get all sweaty and nervous when I consider Open source for the school systems.

Becta thinks its okay. There are many advantages to using open source within education. Not every problem has to be solved by throwing wads of cash and a Microsoft product at it

Looking specifically at the filtering side of things I like to look of the linux based solutions like smoothwall. I have looked at our local swgfl solution which is RM SafetyNet Plus and was wondering what advantages I am getting by adding our own layer of filtering locally? :-k
