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 was not installed by default.

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.
