Now, I am new to the list (just joined today) but I belive you completly missed the boat. SELinux is not itself a distro but a hardening tool. Here is a good FAQ about SELinux that I find myself going to every now and then:

7 simple noobie questions:
1. is selinux based on debian? what kernel - 2.6 or 2.4 ?
2. is there a built-in desktop like KDE or gnome?  or is it command line only?

3. what is its install mechanism?
if its debian based im assuming its
$ apt-get install foo.bar

4. does selinux have a root user or is it "rootless."

5. are there new limits on
$ su or
$ sudo

6. can you do this
$ chmod  2000 foo.bar
or
$ chmod 4000 foo.bar

7. is  Apache compatible/easy to use with seLinux?

8.   fwiw, i was thinking of using seLinux as an experiment in our WISP
socalfreenet dot org,  as a router or AP.    do-able or bad idea?
