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.

Ah Ah....
Your are talking about development.

SeLinux without policy, support, is nothing, 0, nada.
Does the Ubuntu ls support "-Z" option ?
The anwers is No.
Does dpkg support SeLinux ?
No.
Does the Ubuntu find support SeLinux (--context context, SELinux only) ?
No.

$ 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.
