SELinux isn't a distro, just a kernel subsystem. But yes - the Red Hat
family (RHEL itself, CentOS, presumably Scientific Linux, Fedora)
certainly supports SELinux, as probably do many others.

Ubuntu seems to use one of the alternatives, AppArmor. I was involved in
a Red Hat-based project recently where we were using SELinux but found
it extremely cumbersome, so we investigated AppArmor as an alternative.
Unfortunately, the stock RH kernels don't have AppArmor support compiled
in, and building our own would have voided access to Red Hat's support.
