You can upgrade to glibc 2.1 from redhat 6.0 with rpm but you should be
carefull. When there is some problem while installing and you end up with
a half-installed glibc then your system will become unusable. Especially
when you're new fixing such system is not trivial and it would be better
to upgrade to the whole redhat 6.X using the installer.

First, they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.
