Not sure it matters but I usually do

I heard elsewhere that there can be problems if you do not update glibc before updating the rest of the OS. I heard that after two of my boxes were already updated the above way and they didn't experience any issues, so maybe it was bogus, but it certainly can't hurt to do
yum update glibc
first.
remote server, be sure to do it inside of screen.
I was a bit hasty there and didn't note the glibc needed to be updated first.
On another note, on a few of my systems, yum didn't pick up the new packages unless I did a "yum clean all" first.
"Yum upgrade" or "yum update"? What's the take on that one here on the list?
Both seem to work. Superficially I don't see anything fishy doing either. Is it one of those zen-things the linux-community seems to be so much into? ;-)
