MintNanny For Linux

MintNanny offers you the ability, as a parent, to prevent your children from accessing certain websites. Parental control is easy to set up in Microsoft Windows, but for Linux users who migrated from Windows and missed this feature, mintNanny is the solution.

Key Features:

• Small graphical interface


• Block domain names easily


• Adds entries to the hosts file


• Blocks domain names, not IP addresses


• Requires Romeo repositories for installation

Technical Specifications:

• Compatible with Linux Mint 6


• Support for GNOME and KDE environments


• Free to download and use

Installation Instructions:

To install mintNanny, you need to have the Romeo repositories set up. Perform an "apt update" and then "apt install mintnanny-gnome" in a terminal. If you use KDE, execute "apt install mintnanny-kde."

Additional Information:

If you do not have Romeo repositories set up, you can download the necessary packages from the download page. MintNanny will be one of the featured improvements coming with Linux Mint 6 Felicia. Help us translate mintNanny into other languages by participating in the forum thread here.
