[K12OSN] 2.6 kernel on 4.0.1?

[anthony baldwin]

For my next trick I am considering actually updating to a 2.6 kernel.
Anyone using 2.6 now?
I've never updated a kernel besides with yum or apt.
I found this:
http://www.linuxelectrons.com/article.php/20040315152255759
Is this advisable for a largely clueless newbie (2 years using k12ltsp)?
I'm always eager to learn more, but not at the expense of hosery.
(well, except that it gives me excuses to annoy the good folk on this 
list with more stupid questions...)
The howto makes it look rather simple.
Or, is there a 2.6 in our repos, so I could do a
yum install kernel-2.6...?
