I would like to uncompress a .tar.bz2 file. I know how to uncompress .tar.gz
files with
the command tar xvzf archive.tar.gz. is there are similar command for
.tar.bz2 files?

Just as "z" means "use gzip", there is "j" that means "use bzip2".
BTW do you nkow that "x" is "extract", "t" is "test" (i.e. print to screen every file extracted), "f" is "file" (i.e. following parameters is the filename to extract from)
xzvf is not a magic mantra word 0=)

This and other in the almighty "man tar" =)
