I have a page on this--mainly aimed for Linux newbies, but might be useful 
to you

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/tarball.html

On the page it mentions the difference between RedHat, which uses tar -jxvf 
and Slackware which uses tar -yxvf.  FreeBSD can use either, which, while a 
small thing, something I found kind of neat.
