Great Reply Chaitanya...I didnt expect this type of reply here on LinuxQuestions. Its quite insulting man....Why these forum made for? I thought the SITE LINUXQUESTIONS would be a site where we can ask questions about LINUX...and that's what I did.

If you don't know the answers then why don't you just away from this site?

Anyway its quite disappointing..

Posting in a forum like LQ without even reading the rules or worse ignoring them, that's what's insulting. And insulting the users directly is even worse and a reason to be banned if you continue this. And if you're disappointed then that's sad but only your point of view.

Kind regards,

Eric

1. http://hell.org.ua/Docs/oreilly/unix/upt/ch01_10.htm

2. Binaries are compiled applications for a distribution something similar to exe, msi for windows while sources are sources. You need to compile source manually.

3. wget is a download manager for command line. you can download anything you want. If I can download exe with it you can download an rpm as well.

In DOS, it's called internal (built with command.com) and external (separate in files). This is the same in linux but externals are more called as builtins.

Basically binaries are machine readable and sources are human readable (or more at least).

Yes but not all sources have rpms. It depends.

You already asked the very same question a month ago here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ands..-743332/ and the reply given were correct. If you miss to understand the reply, please follow on the original thread instead of starting a new one.

2, What is the difference between Binaries and Sources?

This is the question that made everyone thinking you are a student. I wouldn't expect anyone but an absolute beginner not to know what the difference is. Anyway, to make it short: the source is a set of text files containing code that is compiled to create binaries.

That depends on what the repository you use has available.
