Before uncompressing a tar.gz file, I highly recommend getting into the
habbit of looking what's in it first:

tar ztvf file.tar.gz

Be sure to note whether all the files are in the same base directory. 
If not, create one and 'tar zxvf' into it.

There's few things more annoying than doing a 'tar zxvf' into your home
directory and THEN realizing that the tar file isn't set to create a
directory and all the files mix in with everything else in ~.
