Well, since a vast majority of Linux distributions already installs
bzip2 by default, chances are that you simply have to run "bzip2
<mapname>.bsp", e.g. "bzip2 de_inferno.bsp" in a terminal of your
choice, such as XTerm, Konsole or gnome-terminal. (Or even the Linux
console, of course.)
The larger the file, the longer it will take; CPU speed is the most
important factor in compression and decompression. If, for any reason at
all, you may want to un-bzip2 the file, use the command "bunzip2
<mapname>.bsp.bz2", e.g. "bunzip2 de_inferno.bsp.bz2".
The difference between gzip and bzip2 is that gzip is more common but
compresses less (which gives it a speed bonus).

P.S. For more information, simply issue the command "man bzip2". The
manual pages are a useful tool for Unix people. You should be able to
exit the manual viewer by pressing Q.

Isn't it bzip2 that's used, not gzip?
