Hi Debeselis, nothing to worry about! It is not operating by default. There is only support for it, if you want to use it. SELinux is mostly some bits added to the Kernel and some additions to basic gnu tools and libraries, so this does not add much in terms of bytes to your system. Also, SELinux support has been included in sid for sometime, so you have it already and didnt know it :-) If you want to use it, then you simply add a few command line option to your kernel. This requires education about how it works, so dont enable it until you have read a bit about it.
