I presume you mean 2.4 and 2.6.

Six months ago the Stable release of Debian couldn't run 2.6 kernels 
without installing a few updated packages from their backports.org 
repository.  There has been a release since then that includes native 
2.6 support.

There are many areas where 2.6 improves upon 2.4 from processor and 
interrupt scalability to latency improvements.  I would recommend any 
new server be installed with a 2.6 kernel unless there is some workload 
that requires a specific 2.4 kernel.  I believe most of those were 
removed with the 2.6.5 to 2.6.8 anonVMA changes by Andrea.
