I'm glad you brought the selinux issue to the forefront; I've had questions for a long time about this (Which really haven't been answered yet) but yet haven't seen this topic brought up before. Perhaps because the treatment you have received has sufficed in the past to put down the curious? > -- > Claude Jones > Brunswick, Md, USA > I think that when the issues turn political, and have departed both from Selinux and Fedora both, then it's time to move to the MandrakeOT list. On the other hand, I think there's alot of things that can be learned about Selinux, the reason it exists, and the reasons it was integrated into Fedora. It would also be noteworthy as to why it was not architected as to be easily removed. All those latter items fall within the purview of the Fedora list. Those discussions should continue, instead of being discouraged by the New Castrati.
