Re: [Trisquel-users] Learning self-defense

[nux]

SELinux was developed by the NSA and as such attracts some suspicion.  
However, it was open sourced and released under the GPL in the year 2000.
It can be a major PITA.
For example, if you're going to install a parallel distro/OS then disable  
SELinux first or the next time you try to boot it will want to run long  
winded checks. Disabling it as easy as changing 'enabled' to 'disabled' in  
the appropriate conf file.
