I'm new full time linux user, having temped with one or two distros in

since using Fedora, three of the four problems I've solved so far turned
out to be related selinux permissions and the fourth one I'm still
working on :)
I can't say that I've really had any problems with it since about FC3.
And, in all probability, I'll bet that most of the time it's not SELinux
that has a problem, but badly built software that expects to be allowed
to do too much on your system. And users trying to do daft things.
The only place I ever had real problems with it was trying to use xen
and SElinux at the same time. After several months of exchanging eMails,
I decided that I couldn't tell them to play together and since I find
kvm works in both the "does what I want" and "works with SElinux" sense
I just converted.
I still have an FC1 VM to compile some things which don't play with
recent gcc, and the compatibility stuff doesn't fix the changes to the
include files, so I just static link from an old machine. Love it!
