Generally the hardened profile has been considered the most 'server' |
| 24 |
based profile we have. Granted, if you don't want the extra goodies you |

get with a hardened system, that is an issue, but this is one option we |
| 26 |
have. I look at their profile as a great model for the server end of things. |
