I have a little question...
I am new in linux so I am still learning...

How could I block access to all internet pages, and leave access to some pages which i define...

I am trying to build an info point on a computer so people could read news from 2 or 3 internet sites.. but i nead to prevent acces to all other internet sites.. How do i do that? on firewall level or do i nead surten application, or do I just hawe to write something in etc...

If it's just a few sites, you could probably use your firewall and only allow the certain IP addresses you want.

Normally this is done with what is called a web proxy (for example squid), which would be really flexible and easy to change later.
