I am always on the newest version of RHEL as that's my target platform at work. If you're wanting to just "play around", I would suggest Fedora for SELinux development since that's where the "shiny new stuff" is seen first.

Personally if I want a stable Linux operating system with few as possible bugs and vulnerabilities, I lean more toward CentOS. However, if I want to experiment with new application, tools and etc... I'll be using Fedora Linux. Thank you Everyone... David Sardarian.

Itas a bit old at this point, especially since SELinux changes pretty quickly, but itas probably the best way to start. The SELinux Notebook is more recent than the by Example book and appears to be more comprehensive. I'd suggest it as a good source if you are looking to get in to the nuts and bolts with the caveat that, unlike the by Example book, this one hasn't been thoroughly reviewed by SELinux developers. I'd recommend the book as well. Also, check out http://selinuxproject.org/ . It won't be as deep as the book, but it has gotten some attention over the last year so it should be pretty current. Chad Google brings up a lot to read as well.

I don't know much about its functionality... I was wondering if anyone could suggest me on what is the best way for a beginner to start getting to know how SELinux function... other than installing it on a Linux box.
