yeah, I know that, but I was talking about a program to decompress RAR

again... (of course that the first thing he did was talk about the
dis-advantages of using GNU/Linux...)
So I want it so the next time it happens I won't give anyone the chance to
defame GNU =P
You can use the 'apt-cache' command to search for programs by
keywords. For example running:
apt-cache search rar unrar
Gives you this in the output:
unrar-free - Unarchiver for .rar files
unrar - Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)
Install it as usual:
apt-get install unrar-free
Then use it with:
unrar-free x file.rar (From memory, I haven't used it for a while).
You can also search for packages on the Debian website at:
http://packages.debian.org/

Thank you so much... I had searched with "apt-cache search rar" but it
came up with a lot of packages...
