You dont need the terminal! Just right click and extract here

Haha yeah, Linux isn't as difficult as you sometimes think it is. But if the thought makes you use the terminal, well and good

synaptic?

Heh praka123, his problem's solved.

P.s. - (To Author) Your default XFCE Archive Extractor will now automatically support RAR files
