I just fired off a post and few link's to Dan Walsh's Red Hat Magazine piece on SELinux policy module creation. I'll certainly keep an eye out for a response from Red Hat on this one. --jack Lucky day, Tim.

The Cost argument makes an interesting statement. But, besides passing certification tests, I've had no use for Xen in the face of VMWare. Management. YAST has definitely got SUSE's system-config-whatevers beat all to heck. If I want to use a ui (gui or tui) to manage a machine, why should I have to remember the naming of a heard of these monsters and their lousy interfaces. Not to mention the quality of some of them (firewall and SE Linux management anyone?) sucks. BAD. What I'd like to see in response is the top 5 reasons to switch from SUSE to Redhat. I'd start with Security. SELinux still isn't anywhere as easy to use or manage as it needs to be. BUT, it can't be bypassed with hardlinks like security measures with SUSE's tool.
