Ummm, . . . "No GUI"?  ;-) 

Or as an alternative, setup a firewall (like IPCop) with a filter (like
Dan's Guardian).  DG will let you select the type of content that should
not be allowed: 

- gambling
- hate speech
- porn
- proxies
- violence
- auctions
- news
- social networking
- chat
(etc., etc., etc.)

And how you want to respond to the restricted items.

- block them
- block them and post a notice ("that was prohibited by the sysadmin,
talk to Ansar..." or other custom messages.)
- log violations, but allow the content (great for initial testing of
your config!)
