Version question

I just realized a few things while floating in this forum…

  1. OSMC is still in beta. As a non-tech guy, is there a most-stable/non-changing version I should be using it I want a straightforward reliable entertainment player? Raspbmc? Alpha 4?
  2. I thought RC stood for remote control!

Thanks!

The RC (Release Candidate) is the most recent/stable version and should provide a direct upgrade to final when released.
