PAE/SELinux

PAE, if supported by the CPU, allows x86 processors (and x86-64 processors running in 32-bit mode) to use more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory.

SELinux stands for Security Enhanced Linux, the name alone should tell you what its purpose is.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
