   No, it has not been ported to Fedora as this was Novell's answer to
SELinux using file paths (much better) rather than file labels. Fedora is
sticking to SELinux.

     I have decided that I will not bother with SELinux or other similar
security setup for the website as it is rather a bit overkill. I just took
the opportunity to have a look at SELinux to see if it had been made any
easier. Unfortunately it has not and getting back to the original post on
security v user freedom it seems there is no middle ground here, either toal
protection or no protection at all. Thanks for all the suggestions, it is
much appreciated.
