I actually meant something more along the lines of: Is the underlying code any different when getting the same ambari version from Hortonworks vs building from source via the apache docs? And the reason for asking was due to the differences in installation method, yet having both marketed as "Apache".
And I agree that the package manager is much easier than via the maven build, but that was partly why I was asking if the actual underlying code had any difference.
