Decompressing .tar.xz

[Res]

xz is a new compression method, apparently better compression than bzip, 
but very much faster extraction, however compressing, it is a time 
consuming S of a B, but has become rather popular in some parts.

Slackware is using this for its packages for about a year in -current and 
release 13.0
