What does experiemntation with yum in a testing mode indicate 
with  the packageset on your box - dependency trees have an 
effectively infinite number of permutations

What is wrong with the article at:
 	http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux

as the timestamps will indicate another CentOS dev team member 
pointed out some deficiencies to me in it last night, and I 
was working on it for a couple of hours, and then a docs group 
member did style cleanups behind me

It is not a completed work, but it is now relevant to CentOS 
6

It also covers writing custom rules for local 'in house' 
applications

I also know that the CentOS Planet RSS aggregator carried a 
rather long teaching rant I wrote a while back
 	http://orcorc.blogspot.com/2010/12/ripping-out-safeties.html

seeming right before I injured my ankle, from the datestamp -- 
probably a bad karhma reward from the internet dieties and 
sprirts for my attitidinal expectation that technical people 
do research before asking

yeah -- I am just a sore head -- that's it
