I never use the "Upgrade" feature of the Redhat distribution. If I need to upgrade, I do a complete rebuild of the system. The reason I have found this to be the most practical approach, is several: 1. guarantee no conflicts between applications compiled under previous libc versions 2. guarantee no conflicts between application software and other operating system support packages 3. recompile applications so they are optimized under the new system and take advantages of new features If you do an "upgrade" instead of a rebuild, you run the risk of your applications not working anymore or experiencing performance problems that are hard to track down.
