CentOS 7 Minimal - differing distrobutions
-
Such a pain in the ass that things cannot actually BE the same...
I just downloaded a new copy of CentOS 7 and noticed that it did not have the 1511 tag. So I went directly to a mirror and downloaded the version there.
It is obviously not 1511 if it is a rolling release that is updated monthly.
-
What is different between those without the 1511 tag, and those with?

The non tagged is the monthly rolling updated ISO.

Ah.
I didn't know that.

After running an update it should end up exactly the same.

That is not my issue
This is my issue. Differences in the base installed packages.
We had a whole thread (or section of a thread) on this subject a while back because in 1511
firewalld

What the heck. Argh. This is not a good way for them to handle this.
-
@JaredBusch Ah yes, I forgot about that one. Guess I've spoiled myself by using a base image for 90% of the stuff I roll out now.

Did this start before or after CentOS came back in house?

I don't understand the question. Or the wink.

@scottalanmiller Didn't Red Hat take Centos back in house?

That's a weird way to say it. "Back" would imply that they used to be in house. CentOS was a third party and Red Hat bought them.
