Good question.  Right now you'll want to download and burn the rc6-r17 iso
as it's the fullon latest release candidate revision build environment.  On the
iso filesystem, in addition to isolinux, you'll find the last build
tarball.

The build-ix86-1.0.tbz2 is a candidate for the 1.0 release put there
for testers.

Don't be confused by the fact that the build-*.tbz2 on the *rc6-r17.iso
is labeled build-ix86-1.0_rc6-r11.tbz2 an not rc6-r17.  It's just the build
that has been working fine as the cd environment has been tweaked to add things
like better pci autodetect and pppd support for dialup users.

Clear as mud?

In short:  use the most recent iso. :)
