'tar' is a program for 'Tape ARchive'; essentially, it strings together
a bunch of files to be written as a single file. GZip is an open-source version
of the zip compression program. So files with .tar.gz (or sometimes .tgz) are
compressed collections of files.
To de-compress it, use the command: tar zxf somefile.tar.gz
