A DEB file is a standard Unix archive that contains two bzipped or gzipped archives, one for the installer control information and another for the actual installable data. DEB files are often used for software installation packages.
A TAR.Z file is a Unix TAR archive compressed with a standard Unix compression algorithm to save disk space. It contains one or more compressed files. The file is commonly used on Unix operating systems to archive groups of files.
