Basically a tar.gz can be a binary or source. WordPerfect comes as a
tar.
1. UnTar the file
tar -xvzf /stuff/windows-is-crap.tar.gz
2. cd windows-is crap [Safe assumption]
3. less README
4. ./configure
5. make
6. make install (as root)
If it is a tar.bz2 the first step changes, first you must unbz2 (not a
word) the file then untar it
1. bzip2 -d /stuff/windows-is-crap.tar.bz2
2. tar -xvf /stuff/windows-is-crap.tar
Note the change in the tar options, and the fact that bzip2 will replace
the original with the tar, tar leaves the original.

robbed of our language. We lost our religion, our culture, our god
... and many of us by the way we act, we even lost our minds.
