Better support for h/w. (For example, you may want to install a
SATA card in your machine. I don't know how well 2.4 supports SATA.)
The 2.6 kernel is where all new features like "more efficient ext3"
are released.
Even if 2.4 does everything you need/want, still, upgrade to 2.4.32
and go to .33 when it is released soon.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
