If you want to extract tar achives, I find it easier to just right click on it and select "Extract here" (I know that's the noob way of doing it. :) ). Then, I open up a terminal, cd to it, and install it.

Tuxracer was replaced by planet penguin racer because Tuxracer was considered to be proprietary.
