Firstly: Very few packages have been actively patched to link
with selinux. Second, the selinux libraries are shared libs -- so the
actual binary is not significantly increased in size (well, dpkg is the
exception, since it is linked statically with selinux).
My Pentium II box with 64MB of ram seems to run in SELinux
strict mode just fine -- it is my firewall.
