Not the most elegant method - but I have never had it fail on any linux
box. My Macs automagically uncompress and untar the tarballs, so it's
super easy there.
The problem with that is that you're then left with an uncompressed .tar
file sitting on your disk, taking up extra space. The one step process
(or, if you count using pipes as cheating, two step) process has the
distinct advantage of leaving the .tar.gz file untouched and unexpanded.
