Unable to open tar.gz

[miner]

Many thanks to all of you for the help you have offered and I have learned 
tremendously from all your suggestions. As I was new all this helped me 
understand Ubuntu better.

And James, your suggestion of installing from synaptic was something I was 
unaware off....I installed synaptic and was simply amazed at all the 
software that was available and did install Thunderbird from there.

NoOp, the links and info about packages is again something I was ignorant 
about and is valuable information for me. I did not realize the learning 
curve is so steep if somebody does not show you a few basic things which are 
taken for granted. I did use the live CD for some time but learning really 
starts when a person deals with the real thing.

You guys are a great bunch and much appreciated.
