That is great to know. I was pointing out that it was easier to setup 
system to system variables with the browser. I was not promoting SELinux 
as the greatest concept for security.

My father was explaining to me a problem he was having when trying to 
get my cousin from trashing a Windows computer. (Virus prone sites.) So 
the point is that some aspects that the kids do should be better 
prevented with the added security measure. Of course virus prevention is 
not a main concern, but having the computer "owned" because of hacker 
activity should be prevented.

With yum it is. It wants to remove much of your system packages. If you 
use rpm directly, it is a much simpler result, evolution is removed.

[root at HP ~]# rpm -e evolution
[root at HP ~]# rpm -q evolution
package evolution is not installed
