Baseline intent
A useful RHEL baseline is not a pile of packages. It is an operational contract: expected services, package sources, SELinux posture, logging, time, access paths, and the minimum documentation needed to inherit the host safely.
Operator guidance
- Keep package intent explicit.
- Keep service ownership clear.
- Keep SELinux enabled and understood.
- Keep remote access, logging, and time configuration predictable.
- Keep the host rebuildable from records, not memory.
