Default Unzip tar.bz2
How do I unzip/extract a .bz2 file in Linux? What does bz2 even stand for. I've never heard of this compression format.

Code:
$ tar jxvf archive.tar.bz2
j - The actual bz2-part. In older versions you might have you use a lowercase 'i', I.
x - Extract
v - Verbose mode
f - File (which in our case is, archive.tar.bz2)
