There will be some bug fixes yet to go in, but it is unlikely these will be show-stoppers. RC2 is not "unsafe" and there's no reason not to install it for learning or evaluation or development purposes. I wouldn't advise using it for anything your livelihood depends on though. Plan on upgrading to -RELEASE as soon as possible if you do play with -RC2. However, you're unlikely to have a pleasant experience if you've got dodgy RAM in your machine. All bets are off if the computer cannot rely on getting the correct data back from RAM. I wouldn't even try booting up a live CD unless the memory problems have been fixed.
