Extracting the file (very newb and quick question)

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hello

I’ve always used linux with a GUI, but I don;t want to use a GUI since it will be a server.

Anyways I downloaded asterisk using the wget command but now I don’t know how to extract it, can you please tell me the command for extracting .tar.gz files?

BTW I’m using CentOS 4.4

Thank You
