Why is libc the reason to pick one program or another to download?
I have Redhat 5.2 and libc5. What function does libc perform?
What dependancies does it have? such as with gcc compiler, or the kernal etc.
If I upgrade my libc, does my kernal and compiler have to get upgraded too?
What programs will use libc and not function when I upgrade?
should I just shut up and send RedHat some more money and buy new disks?

At this time you shouldn't be afraid of upgrading to a glibc installation. Most programs today are glibc based and you may get out of the game if you don't have glibc on your system.
