    Firewall, only allowing required ports out (eg SSH not WWW). A proxy cache (squid, google squidguard ) on the firewall that allowed out to the web. That way the only way for browsers on client machines to get to the web is via your proxy.

    Websites can also be blocked easily by using OpenDNS, depending on your setup and specific needs:
