yum update
will keep your system up to date and secure. Once you've got it working,
you can enable yum as a service.

The equivalent of scandisk is called fsck, and you will be prompted to
do this at boot *if* it's required (it isn't, normally).

Linux filesystems should not need defragmenting.

Hope this helps,

James.
