The .tar.gz file is an archive. Use the following to unarchive:

tar -xvzf eyeos-2.5.tar.gz

Enjoy

.tar.gz is a compressed tar file - rather like a zip file. It will contain 1 or more files inside.

"eyeos is an open source web desktop following the cloud computing concept, written in mainly PHP and XML. It acts as a platform for web applications written using the eyeOS Toolkit. It includes a Desktop environment with 67 applications and sys utils."

This is not going to be easy to get to work on your N900...

This seems to be a PHP based interface that runs in the browser. You need a working LAMPS (linux-apache-php-sql) on your mobile if you want to run it locally (thou I don't know why would you want to do that). On the other hand you can upload it to any free hosting server, and access it from your browser. Would be much faster as well. Or to your PC and try it out from your home network.

.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!
