There are some things that you just cannot do with the GUI. About SELinux: first thing you should do, even before starting section 1, is install setroubleshootd. It's an incredibly useful tool. About doing all of section 1 and not wasting time on section 2 if you do not know how to do it: very good tip. Section 1 is very much a preparation for section 2, and you need to do it in sequence. Instead, the exercise of section 2 are (usually) self-contained. Note that the new exams are only 3.5 hours (IIRC), and I managed mine in a bit more than two. About reboot: take your time to triple-check iptables and chkconfig. Never use iptables from the command line, it's likely that you'll make some mistake or forget to save something. You'll be requested different firewall rules for different services, and it's very easy to make stupid mistakes. About sabotaging/sshing: no, the exam environment is firewalled.
