I definitely agree with you there.  The challenges show up when you try to
create a samba share in your home directory, try to create a home
public_html directory and a few other bits and pieces.

The main gripe's can be fixed with the programs built into Fedora.  I
still get SELinux popping up for Java and a few other programs but thats
because of text/fonts and also with flash (online games for my son)

I do think however that it is a brilliant set up and a lot of the times a
touch /.autorelabel or whatever it is fixes it. Other options are
restorecon -r -v /directory fixes it.

Cheers,

Marc
