1.How do I enable SElinux on my Linux mint 17 system? 2.Why not?
Mint appears to be based on Ubuntu... sometimes, & Ubuntu defaults to apparmor (not SELinux), so it might be better to go with apparmor. (Apparmor & SELinux do the same job, in slightly different way.) Specifically: on Ubuntu the default apparmor policy is probably more comprehensive and less buggy (than the default SELinux policy). Cf. in current stable Debian, the default SELinux policy was so broken it was removed from the release. I a beginner with both selinux & apparmor. When I wanted to patch the apparmor rules, I found it pretty straightforward. SELinux was less obvious. SELinux seems to be most popular, outside of the Ubuntu (and SuSE?) camps.
