Solved: extract, creat and etc. tar.bz2

Open a terminal and type: tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2

Which will untar it to the current directory. Normally (99% of the time) it will create it's own subdirectory so you don't need to worry about that. Just so you know: tar - Tape ARchiver And the options: x - extract v - verbose output (lists all files as they are extracted) j - deal with bzipped file f - read from a file, rather than a tape device

"tar --help" will give you more options and info
