For me, 2.1.89 goes very well, unexpectadly well for a 2.1 kernel. While all kernels before 2.1.7x simply hung after several hours, more recent ones did work but at some moment they started to swap like mad and became nearly unusable, .89 is working for a few days here and seems OK. Several days uptme on a dual Pentium w/32M RAM, and now 16+ hours on a 486 w/16M [keyboard port burned out on my new MB :-( ], with loadaverage of 10 it is still quite usable (knocking the wood).
