If you're happy with what you have now then I would say there is no real
reason to. OTOH you could install a 2.4.x kernel and try it out and
still keep your old kernel around to fall back on, if you don't like
2.4.x. You just have to edit /etc/lilo.conf to point to both kernels.
Run /sbin/lilo. On boot hit "tab" and pick your kernel.
