One piece of information I have not seen in this thread is that the "old" RHL 7.2 was the basis for RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1, which had its support ended earlier this year.

That being said, I will now add my voice to those pointing out that in today's Internet environment, it is only prudent to get yourself onto some OS that is currently maintained, with patches for bugs and fixes for newly-discovered security issues.

And if there is some real need to stay on an old distribution or keep running a 2.4 kernel, CentOS 3.x would still be an option, although at this point if you are going to update you might as well deal with the differences and use 5.x.
