As Kees already mentioned, AppArmor is well integrated into Gutsy. We're
currently focusing on testing it and generating profiles. The testing
plan is outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Server/AppArmor.

The utilities are currently command line tools: beside management tools, there
are scripts that help generating and updating profiles. 

The user guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor contains
all the information that is needed to run AppArmor.

Thank you,
