Did you try *looking* at this file? Or try using the "file" command
on it? Did you read the instructions? (They are there somewhere, I
know I read them myself before I got to this stage).
It's only a shell script (especially packaged, but in essence it is
simply a shell script). Either make it executable, or just do this:
sh linuxq3ademo-1.11-6x86.gz.sh
Then sit back and have some fun :-)
The .gz. part of it just indicates that it contains a gzip'ed
"attachment" inside it.
