Kiosk Mode, or why are all the cool Linux security tools on Fedora?

It's not that I have anything against Fedora, but for some reason I've never used it much, but I'm thinking I should wipe OpenSuSE on my 2nd partition and add Fedora (8 or 9?) because there seems to be a lot going on there. The most recent example is Fedora Kiosk Mode which is built on xguest and Linux namespaces (how many times can you say polyinstantiation?) GNOME Sabayon and SELinux of course to create "highly secure" (or at very least restricted environments) for public environments such as classrooms or public information kiosks. Cool stuff.
