I'm not sure what the differences between sparc and x86 is.  I've
never even looked at a sparc machine before, much less used one.  =)
I'm using the x86 version.  And yes, it comes with webmin so your
secretary should be able to make sense of that, no?

As for updates, you would just download them via ftp and use rpm on it
the old fashioned way.  =)

It is being worked on...  development is continuing.  Beyond that, I
can't really provide more detail because I don't know it.  I pay more
attention to the regular Mandrake than to CS.
