Yesterday i tried Fedora 9, with the KDE desktop, and SEL enabled by
default. I found it easy to use, the KDE desktop being no more
restrictive
than it is in Ubuntu. I am only required to authenticate as root to do
an install such as Firefox. This also is exactly like in Ubuntu 7 or
8.
One thing i think is a security weakness: when i authenticate as root,
there is a box, "remember this authentication." BUT even weaker,
is a box which can be checked which says: "remember this
authentication for all future sessions." That is an insecure option.
Ubuntu is apparently more secure in not allowing any such option!
Windows has a similar option, but this is SEL and shouldnt allow it, imho.
