Tar.gz
 

Help what do I have to do with a tar.gz file
I'm a very newby I know

# tar xvzf package.tar.gz (or tar xvjf package.tar.bz2)
# cd package
# ./configure
# make
# make install

See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html for more information, that whole site was a help to me when i first got linux.
