oh, lord, it's hard to misunderestimate the entertainment value i get from
these lists at times. :-)

currently, at bugzilla, one finds among the list of products:

RH Enterprise Linux
RH Enterprise Linux Public Beta

  (which makes sense)

RH Linux
RH Linux Beta
RH Public Beta

  (which is confusing as heck)

clicking from one of these betas to the other clearly changes the 
contents of the "Version" list next to it, which suggests there are
really different ... somethings.

some clarification would be nice.
