This is a safe link where you can download winrar for free here http://bit.ly/1v2nWkq



You can use winrar to unzip zip files (or to open compressed folder). 7zip or winzip are other softwares you can use for the same purpose but winrar is by far the best one. All these programs work in a very similar way: you just have to right click the file to zip or unzip any folders or files.



If you don't want a trial version don't worry. The trial period of winrar never ends so you can use it for free with no limitations.



With WINRAR you will be able to open all the type of compressed folder like file .zip, .rar, .7z, .7zip .iso, .tar, .jar etc... that's the main reason why I recommend it.

Look some people are just not able to understand the complexity of linux it is a very complicated OS I myself am very good with it i have re-written a linux base-code but thats me. i suggest you get windows cause trust me if you want to install programs in linux you need to know the bash commands and how to unpack the files such as a tar.gz file i suggest you obtain a copy and use windows

Answer 4
