There is no difference, they are (or at least, always should be) the
same. The short version of the reason why both exist is 'boring releng
technical details'. For the long version apply to dgilmore. :)

the netinst.iso is the one that actually gets published on getfedora.org
and so on, so that's the best one to grab to make sure you're testing
the bits that will get 'released', if in some bizarre case they somehow
wound up being different. But the boot.iso file does remain in the tree
on the mirrors. For F21 Final for instance you can still find both files
for Server:
