I first got a taste of 7-zip on windows, where it has been outfitted with explorer integration and a very functional GUI. It can handle some pretty intense operations (multi-gig archiving) where the built-in windows archiver craps out. I have since installed it on all of my Linux boxes and use it from the command line. It supports a great range of archive formats and is easy to use. I still use tar for making .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 archives out of
