To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm using a beta or what...

The ISO I downloaded was from:
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/scientific/6/x86_64/iso/

I downloaded SL-61-x86_64-2011-11-09-Install-DVD.iso then installed 
yum-conf-sl6x. The stock repos enabled in sl.repo point to 6rolling.

I must be honest and say that I haven't really paid much attention to 
the whole 6.x / 6x / 6rolling.

Whats the difference between 6x and 6rolling? :\

Interestingly enough though, changing from 6x to 6rolling and trying a 
distribution-syncronisation shows only a handful of packages to change.
