How can I compress files in Red Hat Linux

Below is a link from redhat.com showing step-by-step how to compress files and folders using either the graphical user interface or by using a shell prompt.  You may notice that it is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 but do not worry, the methods of file compression and decompression remain the same through all versions of Red Hat.

If you prefer compressing using the graphical user interface, you can use File Roller.  If you prefer using the shell prompt (also called as "terminal"), you have several utilities that you can use such as bzip2, gzip or zip.

Whatever method you choose, Linux will get the job done.

Hope this helps.
