Hi

I am new to PDXLUG but not entirely new to Linux. I have been running Redhat 9 for 
about a year and there are some areas that I am fairly proficient in and others that I 
am astoundingly ignorant about. Anyway what I wanted to ask was, how wise is it to 
upgrade to Fedora Core 2 right now? I have read a number of reviews, some favourable, 
others not so favourable. All in all FC2 sounds like it shares all the weaknesses and 
strengths of a earlier Redhat distros. Is my initial impression accurate?

I am hoping to use FC2 to host a website which will be used to sell various 
merchandise ( mostly t-shirts, buttons etc) for some business associates of mine who, 
if they ever get their act together, are interested in selling online. The problem is 
that I currently only have one machine and my wife wants to use it for email, yahoo 
messenger, general browsing, word processing etc. That means of course that I will be 
installing the entire package thus making it harder to secure.

I have heard that FC2 includes something called SELinux which is a security hardening 
feature. What does it do? How reliable is it? Does it work?

Hoping someone can advise me.

Best Regards CS
