bzip2 is absolutly Amazing!

Hi there!

I have just found out that bzip2 is _really_ _great_ for large files.
I have tar'ed a whole debian-installation (1.2 gigs).
This tar, compressed with gzip, has a size of ~390MB.
The same tar, compressed with bzip2 has a size of 110MB!!!

So for every body out there: If you have a large file to compress
(and enogh time resp. CPU-power) then check out bzip2.
It is much slower than gzip, but (at leas for sufficient large files) 
much better.

So long
