So you're claiming that with SELinux disabled, a linux computer has
almost no protection from abuse?  Please back that claim up with data
to prove it.  Either that or lay off the hyperbole, please.

SELinux is yet another layer of security on a reasonably secure OS.
But I've had servers running on the net for years that have not been
successfully hacked.  And I sleep fine at night without any feeling
that my windiws and doors are all open to the world.
