I have a great respect for the NSA's mission and charter. In fact, I have thought several times of submitting my resume. I am also a recent convert to Linux and the open source agenda. Having Microsoft technology forced down your throat will do that to you. How much has SELinux (or Linux in general) proliferated into the operating system ranks of the NSA? Do they use it for hard computational needs or is it used as a toy or proof analysis only? I assume the NSA uses Solaris, AIX or some other Unix flavor for their critical applications. But a time is coming when Unix flavors may take a back seat to Linux. I have been intrigued at IBM's push of the Linux agenda (almost to the point that I see AIX taking a subservient role to Linux).  

On a secondary note, I noted that the an updated Kernel (2.4.10) just got released. What is the usual time delay from a new Kernel release to the incorporation into SELinux?  

Have a great day,
