Protection? Do you mean does SElinux actually stop unauthorized disk and file access? Sure it does. At time too well. It stops things that some people want. Are there really any Linux virus programs or Trojans? I have read of some but never seen one. Yet. Will there be some someday. Sure. Current estimates are that 90% of the computers today run some form of Windows. The other 10% is from Mac to Linux. So if I was going to write malware would I write so that it might attack the users for FC that have SElinux disabled or aim for the BIG guys. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill here. If, I said if, the NSA was really interested in what you are doing on your computer they would go to your ISP and ask for your records. Your ISP keeps copies of every email that you have ever sent. And copies of every email, this one included, that you have ever received. They also keep records of every site that you have visited. What day and time and how long you stayed. What files you have downloaded. Maybe a pirated game? Maybe pirated music files. Maybe a little p0rn? Many things. And if the NSA really did want to see what is on your HD they would walk in and take it with them when they left. - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFFsqQeAO0wNI1X4QERAp7mAKDQrfoj5IiaNVR45xxKNYuFYrhXNQCgoRID M/Lq9+ONwy1X+C1VthjKAcE= =qFdx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
