To have things working in the most convenient manner FC2T2 will be good.  But 
getting FC2T1 to work isn't particularly difficult, you just need to install 
the latest kernel (not really required but strongly recommended), policy (or 
policy-sources), policycoreutils, and checkpolicy.  Then run
"make -C /etc/security/selinux/src/policy relabel" and reboot, with a bit of 
luck it should be working.

NB If you install the packages I list above they will drag in other 
dependencies, so you will probably end up downloading about 20M.  Much easier 
than getting all of FC2T2.

But if you want to seriously use the machine (rather than just learning about 
SE Linux) then getting the latest version will be beneficial.
