#^Server Hardening | Linux Journal
Server hardening. The very words conjure up images of tempering soft steel into an unbreakable blade, or taking soft clay and firing it in a kiln, producing a hardened vessel that will last many years. Indeed, server hardening is very much like that.

The next part made me really :rofl
So suffice it to say, I personally do not trust anything sourced from the NSA, and I turn SELinux off because I'm a fan of warrants and the fourth amendment. The instructions are generally available, but usually all you need to do is make this change to /etc/selinux/config:

# SELINUX=enforcing # comment out
SELINUX=disabled # turn it off, restart the system

If you are more scared about the NSA breaking into your server than some other unwanted visitors and when you believe that they have no other ways than to use a backdoor in #SELinux please go on, otherwise :facepalm
