From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, sorry I had a busy month :P
Yeah, that was my point.. that's why I was saying that if a kid is smart enough to to set up a VM like that they are smart enough to find alternative/easy out-of-the-box methods.. the "using someone else’s login" in particular is one of the points I made earlier.
This is why I think the control should be local, and with the parents being the ones responsible. Relying on third party authentication and expecting the remote services to be able to determine the age is not gonna work.
Pretty much.
