Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

There are reports in fedora-test about the 2.X policy slowing down

I have to admit that udev is running slower (targeted/enforcing).

Any validity to this?  Known issue? How to track down?
First, check whether you have any avc denials associated with udev in
your audit.log.
There are certainly many denials with the new 2.0 policy, including udev
stuff (at least it was the case a week ago). I've posted 2.0 audit logs
many times in bugzilla.
I think many of those avc issues have been resolved, although there may
still be lingering ones.  I think that the udev slowdown is more likely
matchpathcon / file_contexts issues.

The udev denial seems fixed with selinux-policy-targeted-2.0.6-1. So
things get (slowly) fixed. But most issues are still there :

audit2allow < /var/log/audit/audit.log
allow dovecot_auth_t var_lib_t:dir search;
allow system_chkpwd_t devpts_t:chr_file { read write };
allow procmail_t spamd_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;
allow updfstab_t tmpfs_t:dir getattr;
allow dovecot_auth_t etc_runtime_t:file read;
allow spamd_t port_t:udp_socket name_bind;
(this bit is the spamassassin resolver issue Steven Stern just reported
for FC4. It was briefly fixed in Rawhide, then regressed to broken stage
with the 2.x policy change)

(generated on a clean fully relabeled system after 3 min of activity)

That's almost the same list I had with selinux-policy-targeted-2.0.0

Regards,
