RH 7.4 beta?

[Aaron Howell]

The reason people have been confusing v8.0 with v7.4 is that RedHat themselves called the original directory 7.4beta.
Apparently for some time they weren't sure whether to release it as 7.4 or 8.0.
the actual version number on NULL (the beta release) is 7.3.94.
I hope that helps to fix up some of the confusion.
(those of us who have our RHCE were hoping it would be 7.4 not 8.0 since it means our RHCE would have been valid longer, but oh well).
