The former creates a normal, old-fashioned link:
<a href="/entries/6;edit">Edit</a>
The latter creates an Ajax'ed link, clicking of which will trigger an
XmlHttpRequest call:
<a href="/flags/new/6" id="flag_link_6" onclick="new
Ajax.Request('/flags/create/6', {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true}); return false;" title="Flag this content as
inappropriate.">Flag</a>

Neither of them do that. They are just helpers that produce html (see
above). One creates a normal link, the other an Ajax link.
You can only use RJS templates for Ajax stuff, so link_to_remote is
what you're looking for.
