SELinux kills multibootSELinux kills multibootPosted Dec 27, 2005 2:52 UTC (Tue) by dang (subscriber, #310)In reply to: SELinux kills multiboot by philips Parent article: SELinux kills multiboot
One of thing things that Fedora has explicitly tried to do is make SELinux more usable with each release. Your out of the box experience with FC4 will be vastly better than FC3. Perfect? Eh, who knows. But evaluating the absolute worth of SELinux or any distro that supports it based on initial deployments makes no sense to me. What interests me is the fact that I'm currently comfortable deploying SELinux in datacenters where it matters. I wasn't in the past. Part of the difference is that I learned more and part of the difference is that distributions and the broader community have done a lot of work. This is a promising direction.
Have I actually used this stuff? Yes. I've also used GRSecurity, fwiw. None of it is perfect, but if you have a clear idea of what you need it to do , it can work. Trouble welding it onto an ancient distro? That is part of the equation when you choose to lag behind. And I'm not saying that you blew the equation; I completely understand the pressures that keep people stuck on ancient, "tried and true" distros. But if hyperthreading doesn't work, or IO ain't what you want it to be, or new features don't weld on neatly, well, you just can't carp.
I still don't get when a discusion of a bug in an RC1 ( however nasty it might be ) generates so much FUD. What, M$ is off on holidays so linux users have stick pins in their own eyes? One would hope that the discussion would center on root cause and path to remediation, or perhaps an ack on a useful heads up.
Bluh.
