Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu It's official: SELinux is now available in the Ubuntu development ('Hardy Heron') distribution. "This is the result of the amazing work of the ubuntu-security and ubuntu-hardened teams, as well as the huge contributions from the folks at Tresys (SELinux will not be the default, but is available as a security option)." In other news, Sun has started offering Ubuntu as an option.

I'd just automatically disable it during install on the later releases, so I'm not really qualified to say if it's still getting in the way on anything newer than Fedora 6.


Even "disabled", it's still impacting performance unless you manually add "selinux=0" to your kernel boot string. SELinux is kind of like lice. Once your machine is infested, it's very difficult to really get rid of it.
