I may be wrong but I thought you have to go out of you way to have SELinux 
with ubuntu, its not there in a default install.

Even if it is, replace Ubuntu with "Any-distro-without-SELinux" and my

Any company that ties itself to FC2 is not one I wish to have dealings with. 
If there aren't aware of the potential problems involved in running that OS 
then I question their competence.
