There is an enormous amount of information out there, so I will try and break some of it down.

Here is an upgrade guide from kerneltrap.org on moving from 2.4 to 2.6. This should prove helpfull to new users who are thinking about upgrading.

Here is Dave Jone's post halloween document to help summarize some of the major changes between 2.4 and 2.6.
