For a gzipped (compressed) file (*.gz):
gunzip <filename>

For a tar (multiple files combined into a single file for
archiving) file (*.tar): 
tar xvf <filename>

For a tarred, gzipped (compressed archive) file (*.tar.gz or *.tgz):
tar zxvf <filename>

For a PKZIP type archive (*.zip):
unzip <filename>

BTW, "unzip" might not be on all Linux systems.  tar and gzip/gunzip
should be.
