SELinux takes the existing GNU/Linux operating system and extends it with kernel and
user-space modifications to make it bullet-proof. If you're running a 2.6 kernel
today, you might be surprised to know that you're using SELinux right now! This
article explores the ideas behind SELinux and how it's implemented.

your inner penguin" on an unassuming white box half the size of a
toaster.
