@vertigo - there is a RAR implementation for Linux but it's all command line and I was trying to avoid a mile long typing adventure for all the options I use in WinRAR (File Roller will use RAR once it's installed but won't give you a lot of the advanced features I need). Plus if TAR.XZ gives better compression I'd take "waiting to find the file" hit.
@vertigo - Looks like I got it!
