'pre' refers to a prerelease version of a kernel. A 'beta' of a kernel
release, if you will. The 'stable' releases are 2.2.18, 2.2.19 ... 2.2.X,
but in between each of those are some prereleases that may be downloaded and
run.
Normally, people just wait for the next stable release, but sometimes grab a
prerelease because of some important feature (major bugfixes, usually).
