The redhat-release-* packages in Beta 2 have a version of
5.90Server/5.90Workstation.  This is a downgrade from Beta 1 but was
done intentionally to avoid conflict with the GA versions.  At GA, the
versions will become 6Server/6Workstation.

For now, you may need to manually download the Beta 2 redhat-release
package and use rpm -Uvh --oldpackage to install it.
