asterisk users - Jun 2009 - What does it mean rc in the release version

Hi All;

When I find the "rc" in the release name dahdi-linux-2.2.0-rc5.tar.gz,
then what does it mean the "rc5"?

Which is better, to select dahdi-linux-2.2.0-rc5.tar.gz or to select
dahdi-linux-2.1.0.tar.gz? I am afraid that rc means still not finally finished
and has bugs?

Any advise?

Regards
Bilal

RC's aren't officially released. You may have a higher chance of
encountering
bugs. If you are concerned with stability to stick a released version.
