Help with Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5.4

I installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.4 on a desktop in work.
I am stuck on the following

1. I have to ensure that Syslogd options in the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file read
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0". After making this execute service syslog restart the syslog and make this change effective

2. What would you recommend as a remote software so we can connect to the red hat machine to install software?

I am so stuck as i am a windows user and really confused when it comes to Linux please help

			 machine with Red Hat Network. This fucntion is called as
			 refresh(hardware) or refresh(rpmlist)
       new_systemid	 This action is used by the RHn Backend to update the Digital
			 system ID of this machine with a new one.
       update_packages	 This action will trigger rhn_check into running a package
			 update for a list of packages queued from the Red Hat Network.
