I have moved your thread from the Articles area of our site to the Forums where you are much more likely to find answers to your questions.

The 2.6 kernel is faster and has a much larger range of support for devices. It also breaks free of many of the artificial limitations imposed in earlier versions of the kernel, such as restrictions on the number of devices and PIDs you can have on a system.

2.6 has been around since 2003, so I would advise using that unless a certain circumstance presents itself (i.e. embedded linux).

A nice comparison can be found here.

Kernels are update (the number after the . represents the revision) as new patches and flaws come out. When there is sufficient interest and need to completely rewrite the kernel, you get a new version.

Fedora and Redhat are two different distributions of Linux. This typically means that you get different tools and environments and package managers with the default install. Different distributions are tailored for different tasks (similar to Windows XP, Windows XP Pro, and Windows Server 2003). However, in the case of Fedora and Redhat, Fedora was spawned as the free (monetary) version of Redhat, although they are hardly the same project these days.
