Yes.  Does everything work all the time? - No, it's cooker.

I've upgraded my glibc via urpmi all along.  It did break everything the
first iteration, but that was fixed.  When you're pulling from a mirror
you can't necessarily count on everything that needs to be together being
there, so rather than --auto-select, I think I'd go at it selectively, and
let urpmi tell you what else it thinks it needs.  That way you won't be
overwhelmed all at once.

There are known issues with things not recognizing that glibc provides
ld-linux.so.2.  I've been just forcing that through, as the file does
indeed exist.

Other than that, I'd say go with 8.2 and install the updates folks are
providing in unsupported.
