If you've got a decent Internet connection, you might as well update all
the available packages.  I'm surprised that Apache isn't listed.  It
should be.  The Apache version that ships with RH 7.3 has a vulnerability.

And Hans is correct in that a cleaner way to turn services on and off is
with RedHat's chkconfig utility.  For example,

chkconfig httpd on

...will essentially do the same thing as moving the symlink as I
described, but it will do it for every applicable runlevel.
