On the kernel update - it was unfortunate timing due to security vulnerabilities that were discovered after we went gold. The glibc upgrade works fine (and is recommended) as long as you're not moving from the i686 glibc to the i386 glibc when you do the upgrade. Be careful to get the i686 glibc, which some people miss if they only look in the i386 directory. RHN will grab the right package for the machine you're running on. I have my box here set up to auto-apply errata through RHN (check " Automatic application of relevant errata" under the Properties tab of the system view) and this update happened flawlessly.
