update help

Hello, all.  Best wishes to you in this new year.

I have inherited a pack of RHEL3.0ES servers. 2 Dell 2850s, a pack of 1850s, an 850, and 6 1420s. They come to me with a load of software installed via different methods (rpm, tar.gz, tar.bz).

Forgive me, as I'm new to this. My understanding is that I can get redhat to upgrade software with problems (sounds like a rap group- SWP?) on these machines for me for $300 per year per machine or so via the red hat network. However, is the software that's installed via non-RPM hard to keep in the proper update queue? Is there a better way to do this? I've read a little about yum- is that an option for me? And, is it important for me to keep an eye on this? Should I be looking out for software like ssh or https only, or do I need to watch kernel information especially? Am I missing something else?

Thanks in advance.
SOW
