You seem to have lots of questions?

However, installation of ES 3.0 on a desktop was no problem, but
then you got support for one year with AS, ask RH. The packages
for AS/ES seem to be almost the same. Wouldn't use rpms from RH 9
they are probably linked against other versions of glibc/etc, you
should check.

Unsure, some kind of built-in Intel 815?
