I answered myself, finaly I found out how to untar the bz2 file.

ICEWM/os2008 is still the king of the hill speedwise but XFCE/debian is a lot more complete out of the box (tar) XFCE/debian is faster than KDE/os2008 and look as complete as Penguinbait's KDE package.

now if ICEWM can be added to the debian base system MAYBE it will be as fast as PenguinBait's version of ICEWM on os2008. for sure ICEWM on debian would be a more complete os than the stripped down version of icewm we got right now (BUT PB's ICEWM run from internal flash on my n800; no need to dual boot)
