[CentOS] Upgrading from RH AS-3 to ??

Hi!

I'm trying to upgrade my Redhat 3AS server, but I'm encountering
problems.

The first problem was, I didn't know what repository to use.
  I settled on http://mirror.centos.org/, but using it is strange, as
not all mirror servers have all of the directories, and so sometimes
links appear broken, but the problem goes away if I hit reload.
A number of them have empty directories, like this one:
http://mirrors.versaweb.net/centos/3.5/extras/i386/RPMS/

The second problem was, I didn't know what CentOS version to use.
  I'm guessing 3.5 is the right one for compatibility with RH 3AS.

The third problem is, yum reports:

# yum install centos-logos
Setting up Install Process
Setting up Repos
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.5/extras/i386/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: extras
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from extras: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to
try.
#

Am I using the wrong version of yum?
Is there an official yum.conf to use?

Thanks!
