which to download...where to begin?

Gentlemen,
I have located an easy-to-follow tutorial regarding MySQL.
The tutorial is at...
http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tu...sql/index.php3
The first step is to download MySQL.
The download page is at...
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html
The download page lists three versions in binary for Windows.

I just want the one that would be adequate, which would seem
to imply the "Windows Essentials (x86) 16.8MB".

Actually, one more thing bothers me.
I cannot find docs that explain the difference between
the three windows binary downloads.

Thank you,
Charles

I have not been able to find adequate docs about that point either.

There's this page in the manual:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...g-package.html

But I have found that the information that manual page gives is not
accurate.

So I wrote this MySQL Forge wiki page:
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Windows_Packages
