I think it's a horrible ``lose.'' Redhat has done a terrible job with
SE Linux, and is giving everyone a sour taste about it. It's the
default, but it's not easily configurable, and the documentation is
poor. When people have random problems, it takes them hours to track
them down to SE Linux, especially since Redhat hasn't provided any good
troubleshooting documentation. If Redhat wants SE Linux to become an
everyday swear word, they should just keep trudging down their current
path.
To be fair, I'm curious to know if there are there any distros out there
that have done any better than Fedora Core in making an SELinux-capable distro
available out of the box?
I think the direction the Fedora project is taking with SELinux is
admirable. If people don't want to use it all they really have to know
about is the {get,set}enforce commands and /etc/sysconfig/selinux. If they
do want to use it I'd recommend O'Reilly's book on SELinux.
