I would agree with Josh. The first, and most effective tool is supervision. If we are honest 99% of all computer users will not ever switch to a form of Linux. I know more about computers than most, and I doubt I ever will. Suggesting that switch to my congregation will give me 10-15 calls a week to fix, tweak, and "why doesn't this device/driver/program work?" No thanks.

But if I tell them to place the PC in their open room, that gives not only supervision, but potential family time around a game, video, etc.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
