So far I've worked with SELinux under Debian Sid, Debian Woody, Gentoo,
RHEL 3, and now FC2T2. Not being content with one toe in the water <g>, I'm
already running two FC2T2 hosts and expect soon to have more--including
several honeypots, as I'm a honeynet researcher.
Commenting as a disinterested party, I affirm that you're absolutely right
in your high estimation of FC2T2's SELinux implementation. FC2T2 SELinux
rocks, especially for those new to SELinux!

Actually, in the case of RHEL 3, I was hoping to deploy, more than to
learn. I obviously understand that the RHEL 3 packages that were once
available are unsupported beta (alpha?) software. But, that's good enough
for some of my purposes <g>.
Thanks for your recommendations!
Cheers,
