Ok then, what you are saying is that they are all the same only different,,
right?
I think I understand. Will I be able to install the tar version on my
Redhat system? Or should I use the --source from redhat?

The official kernel source, which you build and install yourself.

Redhat's package (and possible slight modification) of the kernel source.
You install the rpm, then build and install the kernel yourself.

Same source as the above rpm, but the src.rpm format allows you to build a
kernel rpm (using rpm), then install that.
