RHEL Desktop

We make it easy to secure a desktop deployment against external and internal threats. Building on the Linux reputation for being a highly secure operating system, Red Hat has developed a layered defense scheme for keeping desktops secure, featuring:

• More secure applications.
• Protection against commonly exploited security flaws, like buffer overflows integrated in the standard software stack.
• The highest-grade protection via the SELinux security feature, protecting system services from attacks, offering full transparency, and making it easy to extend and adopt.
• Smart card authentication support.

A simple, rapidly deployable tool lets system administrators manage a complex, geographically dispersed desktop deployment from a single web-based console. And Red Hat Network lets them remotely update, group, deploy, and provision desktop systems.

Whether it's 10 or 10,000 desktop systems, the system administration effort is the same, freeing up some of your desktop personnel for other projects.

The applications bundled with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop are interoperable with Microsoft formats. Plus Red Hat includes other technologies that let your Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop plug and play in a Microsoft-centric environment.
