I'm fairly certain that you should have no issues with
2.6.7, and should notice some performance increases
over 2.4.26, but it really depends on the hardware,
and how the user(s) use it. 2.6, as evidenced in this
2.6.8-cdburn debacle, is far from being a stable
kernel. I would only upgrade from 2.4.26 if you want
to try things out such as anticipatory schedulers, or
you have hardware that only works in 2.6 (rare) or
you're not shy about recompiling once every few weeks
once a new one comes out. :)
Good luck,
