And if you want to live on the *bleeding* edge, you can download the
2.4.kernel RPM from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/beta/fisher/en/OS/i386/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-2.4.0-0.99.11.i386.rpm.

This is the kernel for RedHat 7.1 Beta (Fisher).  I put it on my 7.0
workstation here at home, and it seems to work nicely.  I wouldn't put
this on a production system, though.
