!!Caveat Emptor
It took kernel 2.4 about 14 patches and three different VM systems before a "stable" stable version. 2.6 has gone through several months of test kernels, but the design methodology still says "release it to primetime and let the users do the testing" (otherwise, no-one would!) Running a beta kernel is not reccomended for any server or otherwise important box. If in doubt, wait six months. It should be fine to run on a workstation until then. There are some cases, however, when a [RAID] or [SCSI] controller isn't supported by the 2.4 series kernels, so if you want to use one of them in a server, your best bet is upgrading (carefully) to 2.6.
