Never seen a -RC before. Someone please educate me. :)
I used the same supfile for this machine that I did for another system
going to 3.3-stable and the other machine shows it as 3.3-Stable.

Release Candidate. I'm not sure what the point of it is, though, so
hopefully someone can educate both of us about that. This question came
up around the time of 3.3-RC, it will become a FAQ at this rate. :-)

Release Candidate means that the source code is in a freeze where only bug
fixes are committed to the tree. Basically, RC is what is going to be in the
upcoming release (3.4). The -RC period allows for more testing to try and get
the best release possible. Now is a good time to mention any bugs you've
found or problems you are having so it can be fixed before December 15, when
3.4 is supposed to be released.

I believe that this means which build this is. For example, on my box,
which I have built a particular kernel name (ident) three times, it is #3.

It's the number of times that kernel has been compiled - #1 is the
second kernel since the counter starts at zero.

Yeah, that was my first guess. But if this is true, where is this number
stored? What the point of counting number of builds anyways?
