Why is there the software-rec tag?

I agree! I vote to remove the tag permanently, if we are to ban software recommendations! I believe that the people who would read the tag would know that we don't do software recommendations usually …

Why was "CentOS 7 DVD ISO vs Everything ISO different" closed as unclear?

I believe it was taken out of context. I'd suggest editing that original question to include information about what you researched about this subject, and hopefully it can be reopened.
