---------------

      "cd" to your home directory and, using gunzip and GNUtar,
      extract the files from the *.tgz* archive you downloaded in the
      last step::

        chrism at saints:~$ gunzip -c Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86.tgz | tar xvf -
        Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86/
        Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86/Extensions/
        Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86/Extensions/README.txt
        Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86/LICENSE.txt
        Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86/README.txt
        (.. and so on..)

         The commandline they're using in this example is redundant on linux these days. The command can be shortened
         quite a bit. Gunzip can be a commandline switch for tar. The original command above, "gunzip -c
         Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86.tgz | tar xvf -" can be shortened to "tar xzf Zope-2.5.1-linux2-x86.tgz". The same
         applies to files ending in .tar.gz.
