I went through it all about a year ago. It was very time consuming, yet I must 
say that in the end, if ultimate security is what you want, it's the way to 
go. I don't remember a whole lot of details. You'll definately want to 
download the "white papers" and such and read them several times before you 
start trying to install it. It will work on SuSE though. SOme folks have sets 
of .te files for SuSE's default deamons. Just ask on the SELinux list.

All told, SELinux is _really_ cool. I hope it gets a little easier to use over 
time.
