It would be advisable to change your sources.list to include lenny
sources and security.
Bring your system up to the latest stable.
aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude clean
RC's aren't stable they are a release candidate, to make sure the
system works as put together.
On that RC install, some of the packages would have since had security
patches applied to them.
