Yes, I agree. But that means the technology has to be part of the most popular distros. If it were only part of the favourite distro of the exam developers that does not mean too much. > SELinux is definitely starting to come around to its own. I think it's > just a matter of time.

Then a valid question would be: What about AppArmor? It's part of SUSE and Ubuntu. Okay, I don't know how much it is really used compared to SELinux so I won't start a discussion on that here. ;-) > > adding this to the exam.

Maybe it's just from a SUSE-centric point of view. But my feeling is that SUSE does not play a significant role when adding new objectives to the exams is discussed. I might be wrong, though.
