Two different RHEL 7.1 ISO downloads available

Latest response

At this moment in time, there are two versions of the RHEL 7.1 ISO available from the download site, both with the same file name, but differing checksums.

Any idea which of these is the "right" version ? Did someone accidentally leave the Beta version up ?

Hmmm you are right. When I downloaded the iso file, there was only one and the sha256sum was :
3685468ec6cdcb70dfc85ebbc164da427dc2d762644c3c2ee1520f4f661c15ce

Thanks for that info, based on that I am going to grab 34b... hoping it is a newer one. :)

There are also two Boot ISOs.

Interestingly the qcow image appears to be from 24 of Feb.. no changes in the last week of beta?:

Done a bit of digging...
The ISO with the checksum ending 15ce looks to be the later build of the two...
Below is a side by side diff of an ls -lR of each ISO.

The download page has now been updated again, and the ISO with the following checksum remains:

rhel-server-7.1-x86_64-dvd.iso SHA-256 Checksum: 3685468ec6cdcb70dfc85ebbc164da427dc2d762644c3c2ee1520f4f661c15ce
