Fedora or Ubuntu can handle many compressed file formats. By default, it can handle tar.bz2, tat.gz, .zip etc but it cannot handle .rar files. So, uncompressing such file in both systems cannot work. Fortunately, both these Linux distros support unrar program. This program will allow the possibility of accessing rar files in your Linux Box. To install, do:
For Fedora:
sudo yum install unrar
For Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install unrar
After doing so, you can right-click any rar files and choose to "Extract Here", "Extract To", or "Open with Archive Manager".
Fin.
