How do you uncompress a .tar.bz2 file?

You can uncompress the file by typing:

bunzip2 <filename>.bz2

For more information, type man bunzip2 at the command prompt.

You can unzip and untar at the same time by using the command
tar xvf <filename> --use=bzip2

I use this if it's .tar.bz2:

# tar -jxvf FILE.tar.bz2

That will also untar it.

If you're really lazy, you can do it from inside midnight commander (mc) as well.
