I believe that is clear when I say that SELinux is not necessary for most. The comments I quoted are /not/ about servers too. And from the context it was clear that you talked about a browser exploit when you said "its much harder to steal all my email, run off with my credit card data or just be a nuisance." I assume you know the chances that an average linux user actually get exploited in that way is very low. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
