thanks, but I don't see how this directly correlates to my question, as intrusion detection systems generally are used for server security after the server operating system has been setup. rather what I want is how can I make sure that the operating system that was delivered to me does not contain any extra and/or malicious file or functionality.

@Moher I thought it has a list of what to expect from a system.

I don't know about that. but what I do know is that IDS looks at byte-stream and tries to find patterns whether fixed patterns or using machine learning methods to detect if the byte-stream corresponds to an attack. these systems stand along firewalls mainly to improve server security and are used in many honeypot systems to detect attackers and their intrusion methods in a network. but thanks anyway.
