    Hello

    Often while downloading rpm's I have seen 2 types of rpms,
     one with src and one without src.
    What is the difference between the two and which one should I download.

    Also, sometimes there are options between the i386,i686.
    IMO the present computers are neither 386 nor 686 but 586 i.e.
    Pentium, then why this convention and again which one should I download.
