I have a 1 year old daughter and hopefully in 2 years I'll get a boy :)

This give me plenty of time to think about this and talk it over with
friends in the same position.  What I've decided to do is implement
squid to block everything.  I will then add only approved sites to the
list.  I will also use iptables to protect them even more.  By then
(8yrs +/-) I will use whatever the standard on Linux is and implement
those ideas.  It is impossible to block all the porn sites because I do
not know them.  But if I block everything and only allow what I approve
that will make my job much easier and realistic.  

So this idea might work for you.  Block everything and then only add
supported sites.  They have to ask you to add sites to the list.
