7zip should work for rar files as well. Just change the file.zip to file.rar.

Also if you need to extract multiple files, there is a script on google you can type out with a for loop. (7zip doesn't support * variables) Just google terminal zip multiple files or something.

Code:
for fl in *.7z; do 7z x -y "$fl"; done
^What I was looking for. According to some it should work using 7z e "*.zip", but I'm certain that didn't work for me. Anyway, with that above command just change the *.7z to whatever archive type you need (Eg. *.rar)

Not necessarily better, just easier to use.

Also, just note that it is in extras-devel, and there might be some stability issues or features missing. (Haven't encountered any yet myself, though).

any news on rar archive support, yet ?
Why could it be, that there's still no IZARC or something like that for maemo 5 ?
