I've installed the latest Scientific Linux 6. But when I opened the included Nautilus file manager, there is no file tree sidebar and no toolbar, nor status bar. How do I activate them?

eOS should support xdg-mime command which you can use to change the default file manager. Try these commands:
# what's the current default file manager?
xdg-mime query default inode/directory
# set nautilus as a default file manager
xdg-mime default nautilus.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
This is the most near that you can get of what you want, otherwise look for another file manager:
Look for 'Preferences', in the 'Views' tab, select "View new folders using: list view", then select the 'Display' tab, there will be a Checkbox that tells you 'Navigate folders in a tree', close Nautilus. Now open a folder and select list view, that way you will have a tree like behavior in the main panel.
If you don't like how it's shown then try with another file manager.
