I think that Hardened Debian is putting many efforts in terms of
security technologies deployment.
We are now working on the deployment in Ubuntu Linux as a first move
before the possible deployment in Debian.

I'm now interested in making SELinux a really reliable solution thus i
have the other things almost done, and some kernel work is already done.

The debian policies should be improved and creation of a work team would
be great.

I have a blank page at the wiki
(http://wiki.debian-hardened.org/SELinux_on_Debian) which could be a
start point.

As i'm new and even i don't know what's the current state of SELinux
Debian deployment, i would appreciate any information.

I've set up a site (BTW, running on a hardened debian powered "box")
where i'm maintaining patches and other stuff i worked on related with
SELinux, it's at http://selinux.tuxedo-es.org .

Cheers,
