Oh please, no!  That software is crap, both the design and operation of
it.  It does seriously bugger up the normal operation of many computers.
It interferes with things in a way that they were never designed for.
It has an interface that can lock you out of a system asking you to okay
something, when the interface is not currently accessable, and there's
no way to get to the interface.

SELinux, on the other hand, is a system that a developer can work with
if they bother to take their thumb out of their arse.
