I'm can't answer the RH questions.

RPM is a package manager.   When you get an rpm you can install it and it will keep a \
database of what programs are installed, what the versions are, and where all it's \
files are.  They can be updated or removed easily.  The tar file is simply a \
compressed packge of the source (like a zip file in the windows world) that you use \
to make (which configs, and compiles it) the files you need to install.  When you \
install them you get no record of where things went other then in the docs or log \
files.

Hello,
I know now that KDE 2.2 is not for Redhat 7.1 but for Roswell, but what is Rawhide? 
Another version of Redhat Linux?
I have downloaded "openssl0.9.6b" from www.openssl.org and  unpacked it, but I still 
can't find "libssl.so.2" and "libcrypto.so.2".
I guess I must install it so that these two files can be created. Am I right?
Another foolish question:What's the difference between the installations from "*.rpm" \
 package and from "*.tar.gz" package(with "make",
"install" and so on)?
best regards
