I can leave a placeholder for laptops, but the primary focus will start like this: servers --> workstations --> custom deployments

This sounds close to a distro specific guide, e.g. SELinux for RedHat 7.x Administrator Guide.. since the NSA has provided a source package, I tend toward staying with a generic application. I would not want to box some one into a distro descision.

This is something I would like to do, but I am not skilled in this area .. this is your chance to volunteer.... :)

 Has anyone considered wraping

Due to the fact SELinux is supposed to be secure, I will not support .rpm installation documeentation in the guide. :( I am suggesting the package be built with installer which runs from a shell (i.e., installSEL.sh)..I find no confidence in deploying a binary type kernel package in a secure environ. Building from source is not an option, at least in my mind.. I could be wrong .... let me know
