1.) Start up xterm.
2.) Change to the directory with the rar file in it. ("cd /home/user/MyDocs/" or some such. If you don't know where it is, do a "find / -name [tar file name]" to find it.)
3.) Type "tar xvf [tar file name]".
That should do it.

What I can tell you is that there is "unrar" and "p7zip" in Extras-Devel (standard kill your kitten warning applies), both of which will unrar a file - but are both command line only applications.
The suggestion above (danguyf) uses Tar and is not for RAR files.. different compression.
With unrar you can unrar a file with:
Code:
unrar x filename.rar
Code:
7zr e filename.rar or 7zr x filename.rar

/home/user # apt-get install unrar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package unrar has no installation candidate
/home/user #
this is what i get what to do now?
