Switching off SELinux wont affect your data if you dont care about 
security. However I would recommend running "setenforce 0"  or looking 
into /var/log/messages to check whether SELinux is the reason behind 
your problems before turning it off.  Posting to fedora-selinux with the 
details would give developers a chance to tackle and fix the problems. 
If you are doing this temporarily then setting it to permissive in 
/etc/selinux/config is recommended over disabling it. See the FC3 
SELinux FAQ for details
