I'll go out on a limb and assume you're trying to decide which one to download. The 2.4 line has a slightly different architecture than the 2.6 one. 2.6 is newer, and in most cases better, than 2.4. If you have (for example) some old proprietary software that comes with kernel modules compiled only for the 2.4 kernel, or you are trying to install in limited space (think floppy disk), 2.4 is the way to go. Anything modern (especially supporting modern hardware) should go 2.6.
