Compress .png in Linux OS?

[DutchFury]

Heyas:)

I have just switched to only using Linux as my desktop platform. I'm as happy as a pig in mud with this other than the fact that I'm having trouble working out how to compress .png files.

I have a 53.8kb png which I'm using as a background at my LUG site. Waaaaay too big!

Can anyone suggest a easy tool to compress this with? I'm running Fedora Core 1.

Cheers.

you could try the gimp, which i havent used personally but is sposed to be pretty good.

not sure about 'easy' though...

This is the beast you need.

[pmt.sourceforge.net...]

Also make sure you play with changing the mode from rgb and limiting the pallete, those can have a huge affect.

I had a go at Gimp but maaaan....thats a toughy for me:P

Checking out pngcrush now....looks like it's just what a graphics idiot like me needs!
