Tor 0.2.0.x is somewhat more stable than 0.2.1.x-alpha in general. For example, we just made a change in 0.2.1.7-alpha that will make Tor mysteriously fail to start on some obscure operating systems. On the other hand, if your 0.2.0.x keeps running out of memory and crashing, then you might find 0.2.1.x to be more stable. ;) --Roger
