Just to add some sanity to this thread, I have been using the 2.4.x kernels ever since they came out, on my personal workstation and on some workstations that I administrate for fellow students in my department here at UCLA. They have basically worked fine for me. They are not perfect, but many of the 2.4.x releases have been a big improvement over the 2.2.x releases. For one, 2.4.x actually can tell which pages are not used, and swap out unused daemons, which helps a lot on a 64Mb box :) -BenR -- Einstein did not prove that everything is relative.
