tar xvzf linux-2.2.2.tar.gz
x to extract, z to use gzip to uncompress the file.
Just make sure you aren't overwriting something you want (an old source
tree) in /usr/src/.
Instead of 'x', you can use 't' to see what's in the file before
extracting. Append '| more' to page the output, or '> filename' to
redirect output to the file "filename".
