Is disabling selinux yourself really that difficult? Also I know from
experience that selinux wasn't that great in the past, and since I
started using Fedora I have always disabled it without thinking whenever
I updated. Recently though when I updated to Fedora 9 I just left it
alone, and now I sometimes even forget that its there. I have had no
issues with it at all. The way I see it, if its not broken why touch
it? It only increases security.
