Honestly, people, some of these suggestions are like a parody of geek
   advice to civilians ;-)
   The kid will soon hit upon the same practical solution that his or her
   peers all use: the smartphone (preferably with a VPN like Freedome),
   plus browsing at a friend's house. Wiping, Linuxing and LUKSing a
   family PC will escalate the real-life threat, and the kid's defenses
   will fall quickly to the parental equivalent of that XKCD password
   cartoon.
   If the kid has a need for full size keyboard and screen, and has a few
   more technical chops than most, there are some alternatives:
    * Boot up Tails in Windows camouflage mode. Choose More Options at
   boot. Shoulder surfing will probably bust him/her anyway, sooner or
   later.
    * Make one of those WinPE Windows USB drives, if real Windows is
   required. Last time I looked this wasn't that easy.
    * Get a small, fast external drive and install the OS of choice. If
   the host is a Mac, use Carbon Copy Cloner (or dd) to copy an existing
   machine to the external drive, or do a fresh installation there. For
   Linux, choose your flavor.
     * Get a Raspberry Pi and hook it to the keyboard and screen, at times
   when you don't expect interruption.
     * A virtual machine may be possible on the monitored host, if the
   required drivers are already present. Probably not. See
   [1]http://www.vbox.me/. If anyone knows a VM that works without admin
   rights, speak up.
