As a newbie, you probably don't want to do that yet. I have not looked into "xxx-debuginfo" or "xxx-development", but if you are not compiling your own programs, you are not going to need them. The thing to remember with Linux is that it supports a wide range os skill levels. If you are mainly interested in using the computer to get things done, chances are you will need any of these repos. If you like to tweak things a bit, you may want the source repos so you can build your own versions of the RPMs. If you are a programmer, or have a system that you don't mind breaking, you may be interested in the development and debug repos.
