These USGCB settings are for a desktop system, but Red Hat Enterprise Linux is often used as a server operating system. What exactly is the distinction between a desktop and a server?
A desktop system operates a graphical environment and provides applications for everyday business use, such as a web browser, mail client, spreadsheet and word processor. A server does not run a graphical environment or any of those applications, but can host network services such as a web server or directory server. Systems should never be configured to act in both roles.
