I have a file that came from SuSE that has an extension xxx.tar.bz2
It looks like some kind of compression algorithm has been done on it. What
does the .bz2 extension signify?

Use bunzip2 to decompress or tar -xjf xxx.tar.bz2 (the j may be an I on some
systems)

BZip (or BZip2). It is replacing GZip in some areas.
In fact, some FTP sites are going so far as to offer both
.gz and .bz (or .bz2) compressed copies of whatever
not unlike they did some years ago with both .Z and .gz.
Or it could be a 'y' as well. Aren't standards wonderful? There are so
many to choose from!
