Welcome to LQ, Attika.
The best way (in my opinion) to unpack a .tar.gz file would be to do so from the command line. For example,
tar xvzf /wherever/the/file/is/something.tar.gz
Don't forget, though, that if you download a .tar.bz2 file, the command will be subtely different:
tar xvjf /wherever/the/file/is/something.tar.bz2
You can then move into the directory that was created (normally with the same, or a similar, name to the file you just unzipped) and see what's in it.
Hope this helps.
