The reason is that it reduces the number of bytes that have to be downloaded ( a big issue for those on 56K dial-up connections) and makes it easier to see specifically what is beiing replied to. RedHat 7.x uses a tool called Xconfigurator. With this you can specify "Xconfigurator --preferxf3". IIRC what this does is it symlinks /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the appropriate version of XFree86. Details will vary for whatever *NIX/*BSD distro you are running, but the bottom line is that wherever the standard place for the "X" binary is supposed to be on your system, it must either be replaced with the 3.3.6 that you wish to run, or else symlinked to the 3.3.6 binary that you wish to run.
