I just downloaded a Linux program and it is .bz2 format. I tried using tar -zxvf but it couldn't unzip it. How do I unzip this thing in linux?

tar jxvf

tar zxvf is for gzipped tar files (tar.gz)

EDIT: If that doesn't work for you, try to run tar yxvf since some versions of tar use that operator rather than the j for bzip2 files

Linux has some weird extentions that I've never heard of before. I guess that's the price that has to be paid for that awesome interface.
