From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Actually, it was ready for the stable version.
The vast majority of the bugs reported by beta testers were fixed by the time the launch date rolled up. You just got unlucky where no beta testers had the same hardware configuration as you to test and discover bugs on.
That's the entire reason why the beta program is public, to get as many people as possible with a wide range of different hardware configurations to report as many bugs as possible in the early stages so they can fix them before launch.
