I did find it interesting however, that when searching for something on SELinux I came across a site that made my Firefox freak out. Mind you, it was just JavaScript Hax like making the back button trigger an alert dialogue and redirecting the page, but it did give me pause.

I know and trust things like SELinux and the overall set-up of Linux systems with the root users vs. standard, but I would just say that the majority of the most effective Windows virus/worm/trojans are probably that way because the creators were really freaking clever and smart.

Thus, I would venture to say that SELinux is only effective until it gets hacked by one of these super smart people, and as someone who is new to the Linux world, I still feel a bit green with my new system. I want to trust it, but I still feel safer on my Mac rigs.

Reading articles like this one however is still entertaining!
