+### Specific Versions or Latest
+Using `docker pull centos` is equivalent to using `docker pull centos:latest`.
+To pull an image that is not the default latest image you can be more precise
+with the image that you want.
+
+For example, to pull version 5 of `centos` use `docker pull centos:centos5`.
+In this example, `centos5` is the tag labeling an image in the `centos`
+repository for a version of `centos`.
+
+To find a list of tags pointing to currently available versions of a repository
+see the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) registry.
