Good. You can't install a Linux system either - NSA was involved in SELinux. Most people don't realize the NSA has *two* charges - they're familiar with the Signals Intelligence side of the fence, and don't realize that there's also the Information Assurance group - and *their* charge is to secure *our* computers against *them*. http://www.nsa.gov/ia/ Among other things, they do some really nice "how to secure an XYZ" guides: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/index.cfm?MenuID=scg10.3.1 They also provide a lot of technical assistance to the guys at NIST: http://csrc.nist.gov/
