Michael, the program used for unzipping most things in Linux is called 
tar. Open a Gnome-terminal window so you have a command line. Cd to the 
directory where your files are such as
cd downloads
and then run the command tar to unpack the files.
If unzipping a *.tar.gz file it is
tar -xzf filename.tar.gz
If it is a *.tar.bz2 package if memory serves me correctly the command is
tar -xjf filename.tar.bz2
If you have any questions about tar a good place to look for answers is 
the tar manual. You can read the tar manual by doing
man tar
in gnome-terminal.
