    You are new to linux and the first thing you try is a kernel compilation?
    Why?

    Apart from that: A tar.gz can be extracted with: tar xzpf <tarball>
    Can you paste the error here? Please use the code tags of the forum to do so.

    Welcome to the forums!

    The best HowTo that I've found and used for working with the Linux kernel is this one:

    Digital Hermit - Kernel-Build-HOWTO

    Hope it will help you, too.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You must not have downloaded the correct file(s). Please post a link to the source files you downloaded so I can check it out.
