New Dedicated server questions

[TrevorMatthews]

Hi all

I am not sure if this is being posted in the correct section.

I have a VPS with 1and1 and have now taken on a dedicated server to move over to if and when I get my head around running it.

It was set up yesterday and has 11.0.9 installed.

I did a yum -y update and let it install the latest files. 1and1 have now told me I should not have done that as it may break Plesk by installing unsupported newer files.
Is that actually correct?

Tonight I found the Extensions/Watchdog program.
I started a scan and was dismayed to find all sorts of reported issues.
I am researching each on on Google but thought I should post it here and ask if anything looks seriously amiss.
*******

Any help would be very much appreciated.
