Again, IF you have the option of using the libc5 && the libc6 versions of
any specific software, use the later. That is after all the idea of
'upgrading'. Note however, that this version won't give you better
performances in terms of data transfer, as all network related code is
implemented as either system calls or simply compiled into the kernel, the
libc6 WILL have new revisions of the system calls to C functions
interface, but that won't affect speed.
