.tar.gz is a compressed archive, you know like .zip or .rar.

The archive will contain the source code for the program you mentioned. You would need to compile the source code to make a file you could install.

Just looking at the web page I would guess that the program would be EXTREMELY hard to port to the n900.

However, if you REALLY want it I dare say it is not impossible. Never say never!
