A quick check of ftp.kernel.org suggests that 2.4.20 was released on 28th November 2002. ie. almost exactly 6 months ago.
Thus the 2.4.20 kernel is obviously without any security vulnerabilities or other scary data trashing issues, and supports all the latest hardware, otherwise a new release whould have happened by now.
Since it is the latest issue on ftp.kernel.org it is abvious that it is the one that everyone is recommended to download and run, I don't see what all the fuss is about.
