You can theoretically use it on any size server; routers usually have some form of Linux, or Linux like, and they're very small by design. I have worked on file servers with terabytes of data that run Linux at the other end of the scale; may not the huge in context, but thats pretty damn large.
The server bit is a complete fallacy, Linux enjoys a wider range of applications than other systems; be it on embedded systems like phones, to desktop computers, to servers, to hell, anywhere else.
I'm not really sure what you are asking, but Linux can function as a server. One advantage of Linux as a server as opposed to, for instance, Windows is that you can leave out a lot of things that aren't needed for a server, such as a GUI. However, there may be some other OS's out there that are smaller. I guess that would make it about middle sized. Is that what you were asking?
Linux runs on some mobile phones and also several (most ?) of the world's largest supercomputers ...
Years ago IBM Mainframe Operating systems (eg MVS) owned the large systems mkt, but things have changed.

I doubt KDE would be installed side-by-side with GNOME. You'd need to install the KDE packages from your RHEL Yum repositories.

Thanks for your reply chrism, years ago IBM Mainframe owned large systems mkt,
May i know now who is having major part in mkt. Because i am very new to this field, can you guide me...
Because i am in thought to read IBM Mainframe for my future in system administration....
This is for Fedora, but I imagine the process is the same.
Thanks arashi...
