Re: newbie linux question
What I think is
packagename.i386.rpm for i386 based systems,
packagename.i686.rpm for i486 & pentium based systems(also for amd systems)
packagename.src.rpm source rpm.

Re: newbie linux question

SolutionPackages with extensions like .i386.rpm and .i686.rpm are compiled (binary) packages. Packages ending with .src.rpm are source code only. In order to use them, you would have to build (compile) them on your own system.
Packages with the .i386.rpm extension should work on any x86 (intel 386, 486, pentium, and amd equivalents). Packages with the .i686.rpm extension are optimized to run on pentium II (and amd equivalent) class systems. They may in some cases also run on earlier systems.
The filesystems ext2 aren ext3 are standard Linux filesystems (not just Red Hat).

Re: newbie linux question
Regarding ext2 and ext3 filesystems the are standard on Linux and not RedHat developed.
RPM is a product developed by RedHat for easy package maintenance.
src.rpm are source rpm which can be complied.
Hope the is useful and also well explained by Bruce here as well.
