Currently, during the install of FC3 test, SElinux is enabled by 
default, but all you have to do is disable it with a drop down box. 
I can't confirm that this behavior will stay, but it seems likely.

I'm running SELinux on my test installs and haven't really noticed it. 
If you want some good info, go to the the Fedora web site 
<fedora.redhat.com>
then click on "Docs" then click on "SELinux FAQ." It's not really that 
scary, and you can always run it in "permissive" mode, which is sort of 
like a dry run. It doesn't actually do anything, but it tells you what
it would do if active.
