Quoting Arthur Pemberton pemboa@gmail.com:
How old is this server? (specs) you might want to stay with a 2.4.x kernel.
About the only time you should stay with a 2.4.x kernel is when you have orphaned hardware that isn't supported in 2.6. Most older generic hardware is supported, but some custom hardware interfaces or older RAID cards may use drivers that haven't been ported to 2.6.x.

I've got an old server running fc1. Should I upgrade it step-by-step, fc1-fc2-fc3, or just go directly to fc4?
You can't get meaningful advice if you don't give any details about your requirements.
What are you looking for? Security updates? Specific applications? For a stable server, CentOS might be a better choice.
