kArchiver

If you're a Linux or KDE user looking for an easy-to-use tool for managing compressed files, kArchiver is definitely worth checking out. This software has been designed with simplicity in mind, making it incredibly easy to create tar.gz, tar.bz2, .zip and other compressed files just by dragging and dropping them onto the interface. What's more, you can add, remove and view one or more files using the multi-selection window, as well as convert files between .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 formats.

One of the most exciting features of the latest kArchiver release is the introduction of wizards that can help you with compiling and installing software through an intuitive interface, as well as applying patches. In addition, the software now comes with an archive "browser" that displays archives in the current directory, and a search tool that enables you to find archives more easily. Another neat tool is the automatic splitter/unsplitter, which can help you split large files across multiple floppy disks if needed.

Overall, kArchiver is a powerful and intuitive tool that can make your work with compressed files a lot more efficient. And since you don't need to worry about complicated tar and gzip commands, it's very user-friendly even for beginners. If you're interested in trying out kArchiver, simply uncompress the software using the following command: tar -zvxf karchiver-2.0.5.tar.gz. Then, navigate to the directory that's created and type "./configure --prefix=/usr" to configure the software, followed by "make" to compile it. Finally, install the software by running "make install" as root user, and after restarting the "K" menu, you should see an entry for kArchiver in the Utilities section.
