While selinux is probably important for big systems,
I don't think it offers much for a home user like myself.
It's possible, I suppose, that someone might get through my firewall
(shorewall) but it doesn't seem very likely,
as I don't run any services visible from outside.
On the other hand, when I very gently tested the water with selinux
it had a number of unforeseen consequences,
and it was clear that I would have to study the matter
if I were to run the selinux service.
