No, when Ark Linux is out of Alpha!

I think Fedora Core 2 has gone the wrong way with SELinux, as most home users will simply get pissed off with it and turn it off!

228606 2004-04-17 03:31:00 The guy obviously hasn't tried Debian distros. Or used Apt in RH or the GUI front ends that support it. As for not being Windows compatible IT IS NOT $%%^ MS WINDOWS so get over it ;). Play games on MS Windows, do other stuff more securely in Linux, Mac OS or any other non MS OS. The choice is up to the user. And doesn't everyone like choice? mark.p (383)

Thats good for us win98 users. No need to get trapped in the RPC update cycle ;). And Linux users of course.
