Wouldn't tar.gz be more proper from the unix standpoint than gut gz?
From a generic unix standpoint, it would probably be better not to use
disk images at all, and just stick entirely with .tar.gz's. I know I've
been annoyed when trying to download cocoa code at work (linux/freebsd)
and been stuck with nothing to mount it.
I realise though that they are alien to the majority of mac users.
Also, am I right to think that tar and gzip - unlike stuffit - will
ignore resource forks?
