In FC4 or even FC2 I think, I had some (possibly minor) problems due to selinux which I wasn't willing to look into, so I disabled it, and kept it that way to this day. Life is good even without selinux. I'm not NSA, I don't have confidential information of national interest on my pc, so why take up resources with things I don't need? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying selinux is a bad idea, it's good if you're a spy agency, or a bank, etc. Just having to disable it each time I install a new FC release is annoying. But I won't complain, it's a small price to pay.
