I'm new to RHEL-like distros.

When, say, CentOS 4.1 is released, will it simply be CentOS 4.0 + released updates in new ISO images? Or is it more than just the updated packages integrated into the full distribution?

Yes and no. The updated binaries will be there, but update usually involves new installer wich might only fix BUGS or even add some new functionality. For old installation that is not needed at all tho.

Put another way, if my 4.0 installation is kept up to date with YUM, will I basically have a 4.1 installation?

Yes. You'll have very U1/4.1 version with only updates.
