A utility to open linux file extensions.

[Øyvind Lode]

Sorry, I didn't realize  it was for windows...

Use 7-zip for Windows.
7-zip should be able to open/extract both gzippet and bzip2 tarballs.

Use the tar command.

To extract a gzipped tarball (tar.gz):

Tar zxvf filename.tar.gz

Where filename.tar.gz is the name of the tarball you want to extract.

The above command will gunzip and extract the tarball in one command.

There's lot of ways one can extract a tarball, but I'll leave it with this
way of doing it.

One more thing, if the tarball is zippet using bzip2 you'll have to use the
j option instead of z in the above command.

Like this:

Tar jxvf filename.tar.bz2

For more info read the man and info pages for the commands mentioned.

Man tar
Man gzip
Info tar
Info gzip
