I'm not sure what you mean by "rpm compression", since rpm is not a
compression algorithm but a set of tools and a file format (based on
gzipped cpio archives) used by those tools.
gzip is compression. okay it is an archiver. all i know is that
standard old boys unix uses *.tgz which is a mix of compression
and archiving with tar. i have only encountered rpm sporatically
because i have not done a lot of linux, but i know that when you
enounter a package to be installed it seemed to me *.rpm is an
alternative to *.tgz
