I have never totally understood the difference between redhat server, desktop and workstation. This program grants access to redhat server. Does this mean that you can not use this to develop something for Gnome? The way I understand the differences between the variants in order to do Gnome development you would need to use Workstation, which is Desktop plus development tools.

No, desktop and workstation are just stripped down versions of Server (with occasional really weird exceptions like the packages to burn a physical CD or DVD are, only in those two in RHEL7).

Server has a LOT of packages that the other two do not as well. Really, Server is what you want.

it just determines which packages are preinstalled
