Lurk on fedora-selinux-list, have a read of the FC5 SELinux FAQ:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/

Have a look at Dan Walsh's introduction:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux/Understanding

Best of all, run SELinux on your own boxes (even if only in permissive 
mode to start with) and investigate and fix the SELinux denials you see 
from your day to day usage. That's the best way of gaining understanding 
IMHO.
