Hi Ryan,
Do you need a GUI (graphic interface)?
If so, I like using Ark, as Paul pointed out; It is really simple and
support a large array of archive types.
If not, using the tar command on a shell can be faster.
To do so:
tar -cjf archive.tar.bz2 <path/to/be/included>
Creates a bzip2 archive
tar -xjf archive.tar.bz2 -C <destination/path>
Extracts from the archive
If you change the j parameter to z ( i.e. tar -czf), you will use the
gzip program.
For zip files, emerge zip and unzip. Since bzip2 is much better than
zip, I rarely use it and don't know how to use it on the shell.
