If yes, was it enabled? If no, did they turn it off in FC5 too? I have read that FC5 is noticeably slower with SELinux enabled than with SELinux disabled, almost to the point that the speed improvement in Gnome 2.14 is wholly consumed by SELinux. I have SELinux disabled on my home computer, and it is much faster than FC4 (also with SELinux disabled). Login from GDM to a usable Gnome desktop takes about two seconds, and starting Firefox takes less than one second. Regards Ingemar
