"After 6 months of careful integration and testing, I'm happy to announce availability of Linux 2.4.35," 2.4 maintainer Willy Tarreau announced on the lkml. This is the second stable 2.4 kernel released since Willy became the 2.4 kernel maintainer nearly a year ago in August of 2006. Source level changes can be viewed through the linux-2.4 gitweb interface.

"""
So instead of a fork of the kernel mention in a article a couple of days ago, wouldn't keeping the 2.4 produce the same affect?

No. 2.6 represents a huge body of work intended to improve operation on desktops, servers, and embedded. Servers and embedded devices which are still using 2.4 are typically machines which were put into service or designed when 2.4 was not so ancient and dated.
As a friendly heads up, "effect" is the word you meant to use. When one thing "affects" another, it creates an "effect" upon that thing. A very common error. :-)
