Why doesn't people use e.g.: XZ? This is the same as in PDF's. DJVU files could be amazing too. They could compress [convert] a 400 MByte PDF to a 20 MByte DJVU. Amazing. Why don't these technologies spread?? Any opinions regarding it? Thanks.

Again, please go somewhere else if you want to discuss general topics. I subscribed to this list because of Centos-related issues, not because I want to discuss pro's and con's of several compression algorithms. It is ok to post the occasional off-topic question, but you are posting *mostly* off-topic questions. Please stop this. Thanks. Kai
