[asterisk-users] What does it mean rc in the release version

[Joseph L. Casale]

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

Release Candidate.

>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?

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.
