What unzips a .bz2 file?
 
I assume this is an embarrassingly simple newbie question, but I don't know how to open a .bz2 file. Is there a utility in Debian that will do that?

In a terminal
tar xjvf filename.tar.bz2

or in Nautilus or Konqueror you should be able to righ-click and have an option for extract.
