I've found 2.6 to be very, VERY finicky on a lot of hardware, especially older hardware. In many ways, 2.6 feels flaky, unreliable, and not finished. I haven't seen problems like these in years, and then it was usually in dev kernels (odd #s). Problems with 2.6 is actually why I started looking into Mac and *BSD. I haven't switched anything away from Linux yet. [And, Mac OS X (10.3.x at least, haven't retested on 10.4) can be crashed by rsyncing a lot of files over the network. :( At least I could reliably crash it when I was trying to backup some data from a Linux box to a Mac drive.]
In my case, other hardware issues (and a great sale w/rebates) prompted a hardware upgrade, so many of my problems with 2.6 are not a moot point. Based on my experience, if you want to run Linux, and you have older hardware, use 2.4 kernels and you'll have good results.
