And your spying on your roommate *won't* piss him off? If your roommate can't grasp the simple fact that the computer is your property, and won't respect your wishes in regards to the use of that property, you really need to consider getting a new roommate.
However, the decision is yours:

For some requirements, you may find it easier to invest in a 3rd-party solution, such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol.
You need to be aware, however, that *NO* technical or software solution is fool-proof, and _none_ can ever adequately take the place of live supervision. If you cannot trust your roommate to safely/properly use the computer without supervision, you may have to consider limiting his access to it.
