Do you mean Thread 7.3 ;) ?

Apparently the open, cost of CDs and postage only, distribution of
RedHat isn't allowed to bear the RedHat name anymore, so at least one
linux vendor here is calling that distro "thread".  Dunno if that is
universal or just a local thing with the vendor inventing his own
anagram... ...at least he didn't pick hatred ;)
