Well, since Richard is going to do the hard part of reviewing
the mythweb code/package to assure FHS compatibility,
doing just the SELinux part should be easier now.  Maybe
it will get higher in my todo list (unless Richard does that
first too).

There is some interesting discussions going on as to
whether SELinux does what you want it to.  However,
as of now, there is no direct evidence that it does the
reverse.  You could always move to FreeBSD for an
arguably better security environment for your gateway.
Try FreeBSD, you will like it (and the MythTV BE can
run on it, with some obvious limitations).

I believe that should be "return my illudium Q-36 explosive
space modulator" :-)  And yes, my first exposure to classical
music *was* via Saturday morning looney tunes...
