We are working on a solution that use Suns Sunray terminals and the Sunray server software only runs on a 2.4 kernel so we need to look at this as an option. The only other route open is to go fully Solaris 10 (which throws up a stack of other issues)
I'd be half tempted to suggest looking at running Debian as it is so close to Ubuntu in so many ways and using it with a 2.4 kernel. Anyhow, why does the sunray stuff *need* a 2.4 kernel? it sounds evil :)
If you really needed something from Ubuntu that isn't in Debian it really shouldn't be much trouble to build your own packages from the Ubuntu sources (maybe).
Umm, sorry that doesn't answer the original question btw, I guess it would work but some funky Ubuntu stuff may stop working. Best advice I can give would be to install Ubuntu and try it with a 2.4 kernel and see what happens.
