We have always used the following rpm command in scripts to get
the Red Hat release version:

/bin/rpm -q --qf='%{V}\n' redhat-release

This works in RHEL4, RHEL5 and RHEL6 beta1.

I installed RHEL6 beta2 Workstation and there is no redhat-release rpm.
There is now a "redhat-release-workstation". Do you think this bug
and they did not mean to change the rpm Name?
