Linux distros are advancing everywhere. Not only servers but also on the desktop pc and notebooks. There are wild discussions, if Linux-Distributions are ready for serious business work or personal use. This critical review will deal with two long awaited Linux-distributions, Fedora Core 3 and Ubuntus Warty Warhog. Why these two? Because both feature Gnome 2.8 and it would not be a comparision on equal terms to compare Gnome to e.g KDE. Also, both use kernel 2.6.8+ and have their very own theme for the default desktop. Bluecurve for Fedora and Human for Ubuntu.

$ rpm -q --whatrequires libselinux.so.1 | wc -l
47
47 direct dependancy.
Direct dependancy mean this :
$ ldd /bin/rpm | grep selinux
libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x00168000)
47 package build specificly for SeLinux :
SysVinit-2.85-34
anaconda-10.1.0.2-1
at-3.1.8-60
busybox-anaconda-1.00.rc1-5
coreutils-5.2.1-31
dbus-0.22-10
findutils-4.1.20-7
gdm-2.6.0.5-6
hal-0.4.0-10
...
Do you need to install Selinux if you install gdm ?
No, Ubuntu use a gdm that don't care about SeLinux. That's the point.

No, because Debian SID (sarge) use gcc 3.3.
btw, development branche of Fedora use GCC-4.0 by default.
