Many people have the mistaken belief that tarballs are always
source. The nVidia tarballs are nothin more than archive (.tar),
compressed (.gz) wrappers around secret, closed source, nVidia binaries.
The src.rpm's are the same, but add in the increased ability to easily
remove them when/if the nVidia closed binaries break your system. Which
they will, sooner or later.
